Here is one of many press accounts of the October 18 New York gubernatorial debate. This particular article, from The New Republic, seems to feel the debate was a success. UPDATE: here is the account in The City Paper of Rochester, which is also favorably impressed with the debate.
I read the article and it seems even Republicans are into porn these days.

Ofcourse the multi-party debate was interesting; the point of multiple parties is to bring out interesting ideas and hope the public supports them. The writer makes it seem like it was a miracle that the ‘fringe’ candidates didn’t start stabbing Cuomo.
@Tom, Charles Barron certainly had an axe to grind with Cuomo, and Mr. Barron does appear to have a mean streak. The emotional, bleeding heart vote will likely go to Jimmy M., and the Jewish Lawyer vote will almost certainly go to Warren R.And Kristin D. will get what she wants, as always. But she shouldn’t have gone with the hair pieces.
