FNC was the top cable network, coming in at a network-record 11,098,000.

This debate had more than 71 million total viewers, enough to be the second highest rated debate ever (behind 1980).
In post-debate analysis, FNC was #1, followed by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC.

Americans curious to see a live train wreck by Sarah or Joe – thanks to the pre hyped expectations game played by the talking heads on the cable news nets, got NO SUCH THING.
Sarah Palin was calm as an anchorwoman while she gave her basic answers to unbasic questions

Well I guess your money and mine will get to take care of the loser MILLIONAIRE CEOs, Managing Directors, Directors, Presidents and Vice Presidents on Wall Street, who jeopardized the jobs of thousands of their regular employees, and froze the credit markets for millions more around the country, while collapsing banks and brokerage firms. What a country.
