Presidential rivals go head-to-head

Candidates John McCain and Barack Obama face-off Friday in first presidential debate. McCain had thrown the debate into doubt when he said he would only take part if a deal was reached on solving the financial crisis gripping the U.S. and global markets. By noon in Washington though, McCain agreed to take part despite continuing deadlock on the bailout.

deadlock:使停頓、使僵持
bailout:緊急(財政)援助
