Debate = Big Numbers, Too


Amazing ratings from last night's two major events - the debate and "Lost."

"Lost" got sixteen million - see below - but what about that lovefest...errr, "debate" - between Hill and Obama. Here's the relevant pull-quote from the CNN press release. Take it away, CNN:

"Last night’s CNN Democratic Debate from the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles California is the #1 debate in every demographic among all primary debates in cable news history with 8,324,000 total viewers; 1,257,000 18-34 viewers; 2,963,000 18-49 viewers and 3,257,000 25-54 viewers."

Bottom line: That 8.3 million is, if I'm not mistaken, one of the highest audience levels in CNN's long history. It's truly a remarkable number for CNN.
