Obvious mistake in posting that, but it looks like they are just planning ahead. Notice that the article isn't done yet, at the bottem there are just place holders for latter links. I also figure the carefully neutral tone of the article is a place holder till they decide who won.
After all, they knew far ahead of time that they would want to write an article on the debate, and that they would want to post it as soon after the debate as possible. The best solution is to lay out an article covering all the topics and basic facts they want to touch on, and then touch it up latter based on what happens at the debate.
