There were 90 minutes of hard debate last night, out of which if they edited out all of the repetition, it could have been a 30-minute show, with room for a few commercials. Bush focused on tearing down Kerry’s character. Kerry’s focused on policy details.

There were 24 questions 17 on Iraq, 4 on homeland security, 2 on general judgments, 1 on character.

There is also the huuuuge agreement (7MB pdf) negociated and agreed before, concerning all the details of the debate. Still there are some other things they don’t want you to know about the debate.

After all, it seems that Kerry was the one to benefit out of it. Maybe that’s why Bush looked so funny close to the end of the talks.
