Clark, Dean and Lieberman are nearly in a three-way tie for media coverage today, which according to this writer means that they "won" the debate last night.
New information added: New CNN national poll, new GA poll, completed media results for 10/26, partial media results for 10/27, yet more fine tuning of Lieberman's media results
Old information removed: Zogby national poll, old RI poll, old ME poll, media results for 10/20
Although Clark, Dean and Lieberman all received roughly the same amount of coverage, I think that Lieberman really won the debate. This is because Dean has been dominating the press over the past week, so when two other people come close to him, it is a setback. for Clark, he utterly destroyed the other candidates in press coverage after the two previous debates, so for him a three-way post-debate tie is also a negative. Among the top six, only Lieberman improved his position. Among all candidates, Sharpton and Mosley-braun also recieved a boost.
Gephardt lost the debate, and badly. So far his post-debate press coverage, which was already struggling, just barely tops Moseley-Braun's for eighth overall. I have no explination for this at all.
