October 13, 2004: The third presidential debate between Republican incumbent President George W. Bush and Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry took place at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

President Bush and Sen. John Kerry traded barbs on domestic issues — from the economy to health care to Social Security — during their third and final debate.

Schieffer moved the candidates briskly through a series of questions on major policy matters, he also worked in queries on the role faith plays in the candidates' lives and the influence of the women who surround them. Many polls showed the White House race as a virtual dead heat as the candidates began the debate. The presidential election took place on Nov. 2, 2004.
