I feel that this was a pretty good debate between the two candidates in which I felt that Senator DeWine came out on top.  It was interesting to see the two men challenge each other's character towards the end, after some issues were brought up that they felt were unacceptable.  
Senator Dewine starts out reinforcing his longtime link to government and how he wants to protect the people. He also begins aggressive by saying Brown does not act, he only talks about issues. He cites that during Brown's 14 years in the House, he has only passed 4 bills, 1 pertaining to the name of a government building and the other three were concerning Taiwan.  Dewine brings this fact up throughout the debate and it does a good job to challenge Brown's credibility as someone who gets things done, especially since he claims to be the candidate for change.  
When talking about the war in Iraq, Brown says that the troops need to come home as soon as possible.  Dewine is questioned on his feeling of an official exit date and says that would cause chaos and they will "stay the course" until the job is done.  
Dewine challenges Brown's backing of US intelligence by bringing up his voting record in the 90's when he voted 10 times against CIA intelligence spending.  He claimed that focus needed to be switched from the cold war towards the war on terror.  He challenges DeWine back by saying that he had missed over half of his meetings while sitting on the intelligence committee.  DeWine responded by saying that he had many private meetings which were much more important to the intelligence committee.  He also adds that Brown missed over 170 votes in the House and missed 92% of the meetings in his own committee.  Brown is offended saying "Mike you know better than that" in a demeaning fashion, claiming family illness and injuries following a car accident.  
Minimum wage is something which both candidates felt should be raised.  DeWine says he has voted for an increase for the last 8 years, against the majority of his party.  Brown says this is one of his exceptions to the 96% of the time when he votes the same as George W. Bush.  Brown claims the federal government has failed the middle class working man.  

Brown says he's consistently fought for middle class tax cuts and feels people are not being treated fair.  He claims that DeWine is obsessed with cuting high income tax cuts.  dewine. Says Brown voted for largest tax increane in history, on gasoline and social security.  DeWine names the middle class tax cuts he's been a part of and says that Brown says no on the final passage. Once again he responds saying "Mike knows better than that" claiming that prior to the Bush White House, the budget surplus was huge and high end tax cuts should be eliminated.  
Dewine continues to say how Brown is "on the fringe" even among fellow Democrats because of his views on certain issues and definitely cannot work with the opposing party. Once again Brown breaks out the "Mike, you know better than that", calling upon his "courtesy is contagious month" legislation.  And then claims the federal government is dysfunctional.  DeWine rebuts saying only passing 4 bills in 14 years is dysfunctional, and says he makes things happen
    The candidates then get into the issues of social security and corruption, going back and forth on the issues and calling each other out a few more times on their facts.  
    In their closing remarks each candidate clearly reinforces their plan if they are elected.  DeWine says he has "unfinished business" and that he will continue to make a difference and help to protect Ohio families.  He closes by saying there will be a move to a new economy for Ohio, with a need for sellers of technology and not buyers.  In Brown's closing remarks, he tells the voters that if they are satisfied with their representative, go ahead and re-elect him, but he is the candidate for change.  He wants to stop job killing trade agreements, fix "no child left behind", and make college affordable for the middle class.  
Both candidates started out strong by having an agenda, but I felt that it shifted too much towards a challenge between who was telling the truth and who was lying.  The have two more debates before the election and I'm sure they will be just as much heated and probably get even more personal.
