The ABC News/Yahoo Republican presidential primary debate on Saturday night drew nearly 7.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen, making it the most-watched debate yet of this election cycle. It also happened to be the first since Newt Gingrich attained Republican frontrunner status.
This season’s previous political debate ratings frontrunner was Fox News’ GOP gathering on Sept. 22, which drew 6.1 million viewers. Up next: Fox News hosts another GOP debate Dec. 16 from Sioux City, Iowa.
The best TV moment from Saturday’s event was Mitt Romney’s offer to bet Rick Perry $10,000. The best twitter remark about that bet came from author/humorist Andy Borowitz, who wrote “In Campaign Gaffe, Romney Bets Unemployed Iowa Man Case of Vintage Bordeaux.”
