It could be where I sit on the spectrum, but I thought Warren did well. I expected her to do well, so an "workman like" performance would be a failure in my eyes. I thought her the clear "winner."

Could be my expectations were so low of DeBasio, but I thought he broke from the rest of the pack and had a moment in the sun.

Booker also did fine. But again, I expected him to do a good job. I would rank him as someone who helped himself rather than hurt.

Finally Castro did okay and brought attention to himself.

The rest were just okay. With the exception of poor O'Rourke, the others did no harm, but did little to break out. I wanted O'Rourke to get his campaign back on track. I do not agree with what he is saying all the time, but I can't help but like him. He looked nervous and thus it affected his performance.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
