John Kerry's debates sweep: Kerry has a confessed fondness for nuance, but he gave clear and direct answers yesterday on topics that Bush dodged, declaring his belief that people are born gay and that he would not appoint judges who would overturn the Roe v Wade decision on abortion. On homosexuality Bush told the moderator, "You know, Bob, I don't know," and on abortion he twice avoided a direct answer.

Kerry repeatedly chastised Bush for lost jobs, the growing gulf between rich and poor, inequitable pay for women and lack of health insurance. Bush ignored the specifics of many of Kerry's complaints, instead frequently citing his efforts to improve educational standards.

The latest polls show the race in a virtual deadlock. Both candidates are now as much at the mercy of events as they are of each other. Almost any variable - violence in Iraq or a possible terrorist attack at home, the vagaries of voter turnout or the verdict of the small but significant slice of voters who have yet to make up their minds - may make a difference. Each candidate has reason for hope, and ample evidence for doubt.
