NEW YORK (AP) - It was hard to tell if there were more disagreements voiced during the presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama or after it on television.
The networks' pundits moved quickly Friday to put into perspective a debate seen by tens of millions of Americans, although a clear winner didn't emerge. It was a reflection of cautiousness, the closeness of the race and the influence of furious spinning by both campaigns.
"There was no knockout, and maybe no knockdown, but McCain was on the offensive throughout," commentator William Kristol said on Fox News Channel.
His fellow panelist, Juan Williams, quickly retorted, "I thought Barack Obama put John McCain on the defensive all night."
David Gergen, CNN analyst, said, "McCain needed a clear victory tonight and I think that eluded him."
