OK, my first question to everyone is: Did you watch the debate on a network, or did you watch it on C-Span? The C-Span feed never changed camera angles and always showed a split screen of the candidates. I have talked to several people who watched a network broadcast, which switched camera angles. Watching the split screen lets you see the candidates initial reactions to each other.
In the future, please watch the C-Span feed.

What stood out the most to me was the question about Kerry accusing Bush of lying about the WMDs in Iraq. To Kerry's discredit, he didn't use the work 'lye', making his point weaker. He should use strong words on his strong beliefs, which, I think, this is one of. To Bush's discredit, he didn't respond to the question. He responded by saying that Kerry flip-flops. He didn't answer any of the allegations. Big mistake.

Again, the same think happened when asked about preemptive military actions. One of Karry's main points was that Bush didn't use US troops to capture Osama Bin Laden. Instead, he used Afghanis warlords. Again, Bush didn't respond to Kerry. He repeated himself, stating that Saddam was a threat and would have had WMDs. He didn't answer Kerry's allegations. Strike 2.

On the other side, Kerry didn't elaborate much on his plans. This has already been discussed so there's no reason to go into it more. He did plug his website, though, and refer people there to fond more answers.

During the question about homeland security, Bush seemed to be using scare tactics on the American people, stating that the Patriot Act needs to be renewed or else we'll get attacked again. Scare tactics don't sit well with me.

And perhaps the biggest disagreement between the two of the night, North Korea. Kerry wants Bilateral talks, Bush wants six point talks and use China's leverage. It's up to you to decide which plan you think would be best.

Again, please watch the C-Span feeds of debates.
