The Des Moines Register website has the whole debate up here. Last night, they reran the Republican debate at 10pm Pacific on MSNBC, but I'm not 100% sure they're rerunning today's debate at the same time, because it's not showing up in the listings.
Lots of talk in various places about how this was his best debate performance of the year. :D He even said so himself:
Fresh from a presidential debate in Des Moines, Obama joked of his performance: "I thought I was perfect."
Turning serious, though, he said many voters realize this presidential election comes at a defining moment for the country.
"The dream that so many people fought for so many years feels like it is slipping away, and you know it in your own lives. Americans are working harder and harder for less," he said, adding that "they don't feel as if anybody is listening to them, they don't feel as if Washington is responsible to the concerns of the American people.
"That's why I'm running for president, because I want you to be heard. I want you to be heard," he said.
