Any online sources of full resolution videos of the Democratic debates?

I'm gonna try to cut together a little political viral video and would love to get my hands on high quality video of the recent democratic debates. Does anyone know of a source on the net to download full resolution (720x480) quicktimes of the debates, or has anyone out there taped or tivo'ed the debates in the greater Los Angeles area who would let me either copy/borrow what you recorded? Thanks ahead of time for your help.

My understanding is that the debates are copyrighted, something Lessig has rightfully complained about, so I suspect you'll be stuck with unofficial sources like the Tivo you mention.

Oh, but then there's this notice about CNN making its debate footage freely available. Obviously, I'm still in the dark here.

Oh, I see. CNN is freeing its presidential debate footage. Of course, you're still in the primaries.
