Slightly disappointed by the dip in Lost's ratings, but I'm still happy about them for they're still pretty good. 12 million and a 5 in the demo is more than maaaaaany other shows can say these days.

It's more than Lost can say this week.

I'm sure the AI producers are scrambling to find a way to get their show away from this debate before they are crushed.

As for the ratings, I agree they should be strong - but not 20 million 10+ demo strong. I'd predict maybe 12 million and a 4 demo.

Well, I said that they will win wherever they put it. They aren't going to put in on opposite Idol because neither of the politicians want the next day's press to be making jokes about how Simon gets more votes than they do.

But all the big states and most states are finished, there aren't many people voting right now, and with new shows being on the air, I think it'll pull it low numbers. And it's to early (for me at least) to be wanting to hear about the next President,when I voted for the primary, when we have until November. ABC should do what they did in Ohio, MSNBC has it on cable, but in Ohio my NBC station had the debate on. That way people who need to vote can watch, and people who already voted, can continue to watch great programming on ABC, whatever that is.

ABC's "Lost" Stands as Thursday's No. 1 TV Show Across the Key Adult Demos

"Lost" Wins the 9 O'clock Hour in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, Its 7th Straight Week to Lead the Time Slot in the Key Young Adult Sales Demo

ABC's Freshman "Eli Stone" is No. 1 in the 10pm Hour in Young Adults and Key Men

Thursday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)

ABC earned second-place on Thursday in Adults 18-49 (3.0/8) and delivered the No. 1 position on the evening among Adults 18-34 (2.6/8), Men 18-49 (2.6/8-tie), Men 18-34 (2.2/7) and Women 18-34 (2.9/9).

"Lost" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Surging from its lead-in by 6.6 million viewers and by 167% in Adults 18-49 (replay of the previous week's episode = 5.3 million & 1.8/5), ABC's "Lost" won Thursday's 9 o'clock hour in Total Viewers (11.9 million) and Adults 18-49 (4.8/13). The ABC drama dominated the time period among Adults 18-49, beating its nearest competition by 55% (4.8/13 vs. 3.1/8 NBC and Fox tied). In fact "Lost" led its time slot for the seventh consecutive week in the key young adult sales demographic.

Please Note: Due to the impact of the changeover to daylight savings time, overall Adult 18-49 TV usage levels declined in the hour by 8% from the prior week (38.0% vs. 41.3%). Despite the decline in available audience, "Lost" retained all of its audience share week to week.

"Lost" stood as Thursday's No. 1 TV show across each of the key adult demographics: A18-34 (4.2/13), A18-49 (4.8/13) and A25-54 (5.5/13).

It seems you've completely written off Ralph Nader's chances. I don't recall him turning down the idea of running again.

Viewing across the country has little to do with whether their state voted already. Sure, people in Pennsylvania will be paying a bit closer attention than the rest, but I'm sure a lot of people want to see these two debate, since they have been so close this entire time, and one of them will be their party nominee for president. As I recall, we all still have a presidential vote in November...
