The ABC debate was also the highest rated to date:

The prime-time debate from Philadelphia on Wednesday was seen by 10.7 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s the most of any debate this election cycle — topping the 9.3 million who watched the Democrats on ABC Jan. 5 — and proving that the lull in primaries before Tuesday’s in Pennsylvania hasn’t dulled interest in the contest between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
