Decomcratic Debate in Ohio Posts Record Ratings for MSNBC

If the race between Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was over prior to Tuesday night's debate, someone forgot to tell MSNBC viewers.
The cable network's coverage of the often-testy Democratic debate was the most-watched broadcast in its 11-year history, drawing 7.8 million viewers. MSNBC's previous best was 3.7 million on the evening of March 19, 2003, which marked the beginning of the Iraq war.
The debate also drew 3.24 million adults 25-54, another network best.
