Okay, that's interesting

I watched/listened the debate online, and only tuned into the CNN "Audience Reaction" meter for the last two questions. In the last question, when Obama started talking about his personal background, Independent reactions immediately went up and stayed there until he moved onto more general remarks. When McCain did the same thing in his response, Independent reactions immediately went down and stayed down, going back up only when he moved back to talking about the country rather than himself.

Now I wish I'd watched the reaction meter throughout the entire debate. Except that those 3 pages of layout would still be awaiting my attention if I had, and I could little afford that.

I'm interested in what people who watched the Audience Reaction meter noticed about what it showed -- comments and links welcome.
