Bush and Kerry ready for final battle

Running even just 20 days before the election, President George W Bush and Senator John Kerry are looking for any edge in their third and final debate tonight.

The face-to-face meeting, scheduled for 9pm (1am Irish time) at Arizona State University, is limited to economic and domestic policy, but there may be questions which allow Bush to discuss foreign policy, the war in Iraq and his campaign against terrorism – all issues the Republican’s campaign thinks he does well on.
