Full Version: First AD news coverage?
So I was digging around at about 3:30 this morning, and I think I may have found the first actual refence to America's Debate on a legitimate news site. If anyone knows of anything earlier, I would love to see it.

Thanks go out to all of the members and all of the staff for making AD such a great place, especially the debate team wannabes and the political junkies!

Healthy debate

One of the attributes that allowed our country to flourish is the free exchange of ideas. For political junkies and debate team wannabes, this slice of the Web will feel like home. Debate on message boards is often ruined by trolls, flamewars and name calling, but moderators do a good job of keeping the nonsense to a minimum. Some stats about America's Debate users: 79 percent are male; 31 percent claim no party affiliation, 23 percent claim to be Republicans, 17 percent claim to be Democrats. The remaining 29 percent are Independents, Libertarians, Socialists, Greens and Communists.

Very cool news!

What I find odd about the article snippet is that "claims" are made of a particular stat except for gender. Isn't "gender" only a theory? I mean consensus does not a proof make. 
Anyway, great news, Mike.
Anyway, great news, Mike.
Congrats, Mike! May this be the first of many more! 
Whoa - that's excellent! And we got a picture, too. 
Well done, Jaime, Mike, and everyone else who helps make this site what it is. Yay us!
