No major surprises, but sharp disagreements, as the
two presidential candidates met last night for the first of three debates.
President Bush kept reminding voters he's already commander-in-chief, while John Kerry challenged his record.
Meanwhile, two polls taken right after the debate suggest that viewers favored Kerry this time around.
Brian Andrews is in Coral Gables, Florida this morning and joins us now with the highlights.

AFTER THE HANDSHAKE THE WAR IN IRAQ TOOK CENTER STAGE.. AS PRESIDENT
BUSH AND JOHN KERRY SPARRED IN THEIR FIRST FACE TO FACE MEETING.
KERRY SOT: 21:11:23 this president I regret to say has made a colossal
error in judgment
BUSH SOT: 21:15:41 the world is safer without saddam Hussein
WHILE THE PRESIDENT CALLED IRAQ A KEY FRONT IN THE WAR ON TERROR.. HIS
DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER CALLED IT A DIVERSION IN A BROADER STRUGGLE
AGAINST TERROR AND THE HUNT FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN.
THEY AGREED NOW THAT THE U-S IS IN IRAQ..THE WAR NEEDS TO BE WON.. BUT
TRADED SHOTS OVER WHAT TO DO NEXT.
KERRY SOT: 21:47:38 the presidents plan is four words- more of the
same- I think my plan is better
THE MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR EMPHASIZED BRINGING MORE ALLIES TO THE TABLE
IN ORDER TO GET U-S TROOPS HOME. THE PRESIDENT CONCEDED WORK IN IRAQ IS
DIFFICULT.. BUT SAID THE WAY TO SUCCEED IS TO SEND CONSISTENT MESSAGES.
BUSH SOT: 21:19 47 how can you lead this country in iraq if you say its
the wrong war at the wrong time..
AT ALMOST EVERY TURN MR. BUSH HAMMERED HIS CAMPAIGN THEME THAT SENATOR
KERRY HAS FLIP-FLOPPED ON THE ISSUES. THE DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER.. WAS
READY WITH A DEFENSE.
KERRY SOT: 21:43:08 I have had one position all along that saddam
Hussein was a threat but president chose the wrong way.
BUSH SOT: 21:42:55 he changes positions.. and you cannot change
positions in this war on terror is you expect to win.
KERRY SAID HE COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN MR. BUSH PROTECTING THE NATION
AGAINST ANOTHER 9/11 STYLE ATTACK. THE PRESIDENT TRIED TO MAKE THE CASE
HES THE LEADER WILL MAKE TOUGH DECISION EVEN WHEN THEYRE UNPOPULAR.
