Video from the debate

It's all here, broken down by question, etc.

UPDATE: Instant poll shows Hillary won. I do think this debate was actually quite interesting. Far too long, but quite interesting. The video thing worked, and Anderson did a good job, especially at going after the candidates for not answering the questions. It's one thing to simply say "you didn't answer the question," and quite another to do it in a way that's actually forceful and might just get them to say something more. Cooper did the latter. I also give Anderson major kudos for addressing the gay issues well. He really let the candidates have it, especially when confronting Obama with the question as to why it wasn't okay to stop blacks from marrying whites but it is okay to stop gays from marrying each other (Obama didn't answer the question). As for the candidates, as always I found myself wincing because I was enjoying Gravel. I'm sorry, folks, but he's kind of crazy. I like what he says, but he's not quite all there. Edwards was good, Obama was fine, but Hillary was damn good. She's perfected the art of looking presidential. I think they all did well tonight, but I'm not sure anyone shook things up enough to change the rankings.
