We will know who will win each issue volley as it happens through our point by point study of 1,500 voters on Thursday night.

Using a web facility and text messaging Mediacurves will poll voters after each debate issue discussion and report results on line in about 5 minutes. At the end of the debate the final question "Who won the debate?" will be posed and again the result will be posted about 5 minutes after the debate concludes.

Let the pundits spin but Mediacurves will report who won each debate issue before it becomes a distant memory distorted by political and media spinmeisters.
