    It looks like the debate will show up on the NPR download page sometime in the near future (they have the previous debates in the IQ2 series here):

    Looking at the event information (http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/Event.aspx?Event=12), I see that the "Good Guys" won!

    I love the fact that while the undecideds remained unchanged, the 'For' side drew from the 'Against' crowd to come from 30% before the debate to 46% after the debate. They managed to come from behind for this one. It bodes well and I can't wait for the transcript.
