Earlier tonight I had the opportunity to participate in a CNN.com/live debate within the debate -- or more like a conversation -- with Ana Marie Cox.

Our task was to watch the debate, read incoming Tweets, IMs, emails, scan the blogosphere for reactions to what the candidates were saying, and of course, comment throughout for the live-stream.

The task-at-hand to juggle loads of information was difficult but fun. I've gotten a little feedback from the more than 100K viewers that checked in to our stream that it was an interesting experiment but that a delay in the feed wasn't syncing our comments directly with what folks were saying.

A big thanks to the CNN.com for the opportunity, to the crew in DC for ensuring that our Internets worked well, and to anchor Nicole Lapin for breaking up our squabbles. And, I'd be remiss not to thank Ana Marie Cox for so eloquently and artfully disagreeing with me throughout our 3.5 hour tour. I enjoyed it.

I found one clip of our post-debate analysis in the CNN.com clip bin in case you missed it.
