Big Crowd for Presidential Debate Viewing Party at The Bench [Photos]

Locals packed the bar and restaurant for the first of three presidential debates.

Dozens of locals, politicians and Stony Brook University students gathered at The Bench in Stony Brook on Wednesday night for the Northern Suffolk/East End Presidential Debate Party.

While food and drinks were consumed the attendees were monofocused on the four big-screen TVs in the main room for the first presidential debate between Pres. Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney, but as the night went on the party grew and spilled out on to the floor of the bar and restaurant.
