was there a clear winner in the debate?
Some of us thought Corker did much better.
Here's the live thread on the debate:

I think Corker did an outstanding job. Ford, I probably will catch flack for this, but he seems to be an Obama wannabe. He complains that the Bush administration has created the largest government in US history, yet this is exactly what he and his camp want, he complains about the Iraq War, he complains complains complains but offers (right in line with other Dims) NO SOLUTIONS! Additionally, you can check his voting record--check out the overwhelming number of recordings of did not vote. He claims he will fix this and that, but he doesn't even vote way more than half the time.
Rasmussen held that before the debate, Ford held 5 percentage point lead over Corker--48% to 43%.
