Hollywood Reporter: "Early ratings for cable network coverage of Tuesday's presidential debate have numbers surging ahead of the first showdown between President Obama and Mitt Romney earlier this month..."
"Nielsen figures have FNC's telecast of the town hall debate matching its highest ratings ever (Sarah Palin and Joe Biden's 2008 vice presidential debate) with 11.1 million viewers. On par with that record, FNC also scored a demo win with 3.46 million adults 25-54. Though its returns are shy of broadcast competition in NBC and ABC, it also topped CBS."

God I hope so! and I hope that a lot of people who have been flirting with Mitt (yuck) will come back to Obama.

(31,318 posts)I had been to see Kathleen Turner in "Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins"
in DC at the Arena Stage the night of the first debate and didn't want to spoil the moment after a really good
evening of theatre to listen to Mitt lie. I had the chance to duck into a bar on Connecticut Ave
on the way back from DuPont Circle metro to my hotel--all the restaurants/bars had the debate turned on--but didn't. Turned out to be a good decision!
