So far I would rank them (according to personal preference) as

Last edited Wed Oct 14, 2015, 06:06 AM - Edit history (1)

1) Sanders
2) Clinton
3) O'Malley / Chaffee. (Need to hear some more there, I think.)
5) Webb

How about you?


End of the debate/morning after feeling, I like them in the following order now:

1) Sanders
2) O'Malley
3) Clinton (Did not go down due to anything she said, but rather O'Malley went up because I got to know him better.)
4) Chaffee
5) Webb

the teens.

Sadly, I'm going to have to back off that prediction.

Fact is ... HRC and Bernie are sucking ALL of the air out of the room.

making a positive impression. But I agree in some ways it still feels to me very much between Sanders/Clinton.

Should be tied in last place with Webb.

He said some dumbass things.

But I would put Clinton on top, closely followed by Sanders and O'Malley (I see them as tied so far) and then Chafee. Webb hasn't gotten enough time to fairly rank him, but I think his lack of time reflects the fact that he hasn't been part of the Democratic conversation because he's barely a Democrat. He's just out of place at this debate.

Some will go on to talk about how unfairly Cooper treated their candidate.

Unless someone screws up major league, everyone will walk away with their predetermined outcome firmly in hand.
