CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: These days, there are more and more ways to determine how the voters are responding to the candidates. With last night's debates still fresh in our minds, CNN's Bill Delaney reports on one new method for taking the pulse of the people.</s>BILL DELANEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The squiggles on this TV screen are the political heartbeats of 75 people -- how they saw the last New Hampshire debates, moment-by-moment, from about a block away from the real debates; 55 percent Democrats, the red line, 45 percent Republicans, the green line, all somewhat undecided, each person with a hand-held gadget, able to move those squiggles up or down from a neutral point of 50 to show how they felt in real time. They like bipartisanly, for example, Alan Keyes remarks on racial tolerance. When John McCain responded, on the other hand, to Keyes' criticism of his position on abortion, the Arizona senator aroused little more than a flat line. (on camera): And it's coming to a computer near you, not in a couple of years, but, organizers of the gathering here say, in a couple of months. (voice-over): Josh King of Speakout.com says that hand-held gadget could just as easily be a computer mouse or toggle used to react over the Internet. And he says it will be very soon.</s>JOSH KING, SPEAKOUT.COM: What about 75,000 people's voices coming through? So I think it's very important that we find a way to let the process allow the people's voice truly to come through. And putting the -- using the tools of the Internet to sort of come very quickly gets a little ahead of the punditry process.</s>DELANEY: Such realtime analysis on a much grander scale is expected no later than the fall election. As for the winners this time: Alan Keyes for the Republicans, Bill Bradley for the Democrats. Bill Delaney, CNN, Manchester, New Hampshire.
