1. Ok I'll go first. Hillary did quite well and most know I'm no fan of hers.

Sanders was very good but he always is. O'Malley was impressive too.

Chaffee and Webb, please go home...you are embarrassing yourselves.

4. I agree. I'm a Berber but HRC did better than I expected

as did O' Malley. I can tell he got some coaching on being on live TV because he would look into the camera when it was on him. I agree that it's time for Webb and Chaffed to call it a day.

8. Agreed. I'm a Sanders supporter and happy with his performance, but Clinton did very well, too.

He spoke very well. He was as they would say presidential.

5. Hillary did better than expected but Bernie still kicked the most expected ass.

Chafee actually did better than expected if only because of his complaints about allotted time.

6. Bernie stole my heart

He's so always the same and always on target, knows a lot about everything and he is so damned sincere.

I liked Cuomo's interview with him after the debate. He said we didn't come to see you, we came here to see Jane.

Bernie's wife, Jane, is a doll. Never met a Jane I didn't like.

Because of a few nice Janes I had met long ago, I had to name a dog Jane years ago, but she passed away. In her memory, my daughter named her daughter, Jane....

Bernie seemed a bit sad after. He takes it to heart that if this revolution doesn't come, he will blame himself. He sees so much that's wrong and wants to change the country.

11. Good night for Sanders and Clinton. Bad night for Webb, Chafee, and mostly Draft Biden; O'Malley did

well but not well enough to move up a tier.

Seems like even more of a two person race tonight than it seemed like last night.
