I did, most of it anyway; but my usually political wife (has the TV on FOX News all the time) went out and mowed the lawn. (she is in fact an excellent wife).
I was hoping Lamont would do better, he did okay but failed to deliver a knockout punch.
Now that I've had a chance to digest the whole thing, I still think Lamont did better, if only by beating expectations and forcing Joe Lieberman to appear like a cranky old man.
Lamont's issues were bread and butter for primary voters. Lieberman's biggest points, which came on experience, national security and moderation, will probably play a lot better with voters in November. Which may have been the point.
A lot of the spin I'm seeing this morning has Lamont doing better than expected, but Lieberman doing a "forceful" job.
I really do wish there was another debate, though. Unlike a lot of debates, this one really got to the heart of matters.

You should include a choice for Lamont "beating the spread."
