So how did the predictive markets respond? (Hint: Biden lost)

Chances of being the Democratic Nominee:

Clinton - 71% (+3)
Sanders - 15% (+4)
Biden - 13% (-5)
O'Malley 1% (Unchanged)
Everyone else - 0%

Chance to be president:
Clinton - 44% (+2)
Bush - 11%
Rubio - 10%
Sanders - 10% (+4)
Trump - 7%
Biden - 6% (-4)

First time since speculation on Biden heated up that Bernie has a higher chance than him. I think, if anything, this debate leads to Biden deciding not to run.
