Maybe people have already made up their minds.

I think this shows that people already have a pretty good idea of the candidates. There were very few minds to be changed by what happened last night.

I was at a high school football game and had to catch it on the re-run.

Friday night is high school football night. What idiot decided on that? Were the others on Friday?

We were not sure there was going to be a debate until 4 hours before.

I think many folks in the media were trying to push the idea that Obama came out ahead. Now that they know only a few people actually saw the debate, the media may redouble their efforts and say, "Of course Obama won!! Didn't you see it? No? Well, if you had, you'd agree that Obama looked very presidential."
In the tank.

Friday night is not a good night. HS football and they’re lucky the OSU-USC game wasn’t on.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking.
0bama needed to show he somehow could stand on the same stage as John McCain, but relatively few saw it.
What we did get out of it though was a lot of “John McCain is right” and “Barack 0bama doesn’t seem to understand” and of course the brilliant “I have a bracelet, too” moment.

The first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama is on track to pull a surprisingly average viewership number, drawing fewer households in the preliminary ratings than George W. Bush's face off against John Kerry four years ago. There has just got to be a media interactive reason for this revelation of political polling. ; )

I wager that the debate between Biden and Palin will draw 22% more audience. I bet 3 boxes of Cracker Jacks, I hope this isn´t a racist comment.
To: counterpunch
I wonder how many people changed the channel or popped in a DVD after 30 minutes in?

Or it could be that nobody cares. I spend a lot of time out on the road in Northern Arizona. I spent all day yesterday in Flagstaff, the bumper sticker capitol of the world. The political bumper stickers just aren’t out there. I saw two Obammie bumper stickers yesterday and no McCain bumper stickers. Saw one for some local yokel.

Of course the ratings were low, that’s why the Obama campaign pushed for a Friday night debate.
Normal people are having dinner dates or watching football and not watching a long droning debate.
The Obama campaign is minimizing his off-teleprompter exposure and for good reason considering last nights performance.
