The debate at Lynn University in Florida on Oct. 22, 2012, is behind us. Who do you think won? And what did our audience for our Wehrenberg debate watch parties think?
Updated with results of Patch surveys. Who won Monday night's debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney? It might have been Major League Baseball, as the politicians competed with Game 7 of the St. Louis Cardinals-San Francisco Giants pennant series. But among about 60 die-hard politics watchers who joined Patch.com for debate-watching parties at two local Wehrenberg theaters, viewers called the tete-a-tete a draw. Monday's debate was the last of three debates between the presidential candidates and the fourth in a series staged by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The vice presidential candidates faced off on Oct. 11. The debate came 15 days before voters go to the ballot box on Nov. 6. A narrowly pro-Romney crowd …

Visitors to Patch's debate viewing parties at Wehrenberg Theatres in St. Charles gave Obama the win while the Des Peres audience gave Romney a slight edge in the second presidential debate on Oct. 16, 2012.
More than 120 people from throughout the St. Louis and St. Charles county areas took advantage of a break in the Cardinals schedule to attend debate viewing parties at two local movie theaters for Wednesday's showdown between GOP candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. The consensus among viewers at the Wehrenberg St. Charles Stadium 18 Cine put Obama ahead, while watchers at Wehrenberg's Des Peres 14 Cine essentially called the matter a wash, with Romney edging out Obama but just as many declaring neither candidate victorious. In a written survey filled out after the debate, Obama's record was the center of attention for both sides.

More than 100 people shook off the Cardinals' Game 4 loss to visit a Wehrenberg Theatre in Des Peres or St. Charles to watch the vice presidential debate. Did they agree with you on the winner?
Nearly 120 people came out on a rainy evening to watch Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan face off in their one-and-only debate of the election season. Most of them thought Biden, the No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, took one on the chin from Ryan, who is running with Mitt Romney in an effort to unseat President Barack Obama. Analysts and pundits widely believed Obama lost the first presidential debate last week, and a dip for the incumbent in the polls seemed to bear out those views. It remains to be seen what the polls will say now that debate No. 2—between the No. 2s on the ticket—will have the same effect. Who do you think won the Biden-Ryan debate? Vote in our poll below. But visitors to debate viewing parties Thursday night …

AMC Theatres are banning costume masks. Police in some area communities around St. Louis County plan to increase patrols at local theaters.
The mass shooting at the première of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, CO, has prompted some St. Louis-area movie theaters to consider increased security. AMC Theatres, including the one in Chesterfield, are banning "costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable and we will not permit face-covering masks or fake weapons inside our buildings." The theater chain announced the move on its Facebook page. At approximately 1 a.m. Friday, a man wearing a gas mask entered the Colorado theater during the midnight showing of the newest Batman movie, hurled a gas canister and then began shooting, the Associated Press reported.
