Earlier, the candidates' wives took their seats for the debate tonight, each sitting stoically minutes before the final showdown.
Michelle Obama donned a grey Thom Browne dress adorned with black lace while Ann Romney wore a green Oscar De La Renta frock with a floral-print skirt.
The women did not interact before the debate began.
But after it was over, the two families met on stage visibly relieved that the ordeal of the TV debates was over in scenes more reminiscent of a backyard barbeque.

Warming up: The Romneys sit in a holding room before the debate began

Ann Romney, who has been in Florida since Saturday, took advantage of the sun and surf, splashing around in the water with her son Craig, his wife Mary and grandchildren, before she grabbed a towel and headed for a sun lounger surrounded by other families.
At last week's debate at Hofstra University on Long Island, the wives wore matching hot pink dresses.
The First Lady wore a tailored dress with matching cropped jacket by Michael Kors, while Mrs Romney wore a shift with capped sleeves in exactly the same Pepto Bismol-like hue. 
It was later revealed that the color scheme was in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
Mrs Romney has herself battled breast cancer and also spoke this weekend about her struggle with M.S., when she visited a Cuban restaurant in Florida.

Romney was diagnosed in 1998 with the incurable neurological disease, which attacks the central nervous system and immobilizes many of its victims.
Mrs Romney said she was an avid tennis player when she first started noticing her symptoms, which primarily affected her balance and coordination.
'It was really tough on my balance,' she said. 'I couldn't figure out what was going on.
'That was sort of what was happening. I was trying to figure out what was going on, what was wrong with me.'
