My take

[SwampG8r]

O'Malley did well he will likely get a bump
Sanders wins debate
Webb was Webb
Chafee was chafee
Hillary was tepid and over rehearsed and it showed no authenticity
MOM impressed me
When he is firmly in second d place behind sanders we will see a real race

[Hepburn]

1. Sander clearly won with the undecided voters...

...and that is the important win.

Those who love/hate Hillary -- they did not move off their feelings. However, the undecided voters and the youth appear to clearly have gone for Bernie.

I agree on Hillary -- over rehearsed and not sincere. I cringed when I watched her...and I do not dislike her. Never disliked her, but she came off very badly in her facial expressions and body posture.

2. The DU CDS will continue until moral improves. Hillary won, she was left of center and did good with

... her great answers and winning smile.

5. OK, you have remember that most of us

haven't been on the other Hillary Clinton site. What is CDS?

[uponit7771]

7. Like ODS.. Clinton Derangement Syndrome

[Le Taz Hot]

9. Now that I know what it stands for.

What is it? Seriously, I have no idea what the means.

10. People who have gone insane hating on a political figure... see Cornel West

[SwampG8r]

6. She's a progressive this week

While back she was an unapologetic moderate
Is claiming to be progressive after claiming to be moderate left of center?
As Steve Lester journalist said she is unfit.for the office.of.the presidency

8. Like Sanders on many issues Clinton has evolved soooooo....

[SwampG8r]

11. That would be true if it were true

What issue has hrh led on without any shapeshifting ?
What issue has she come out on the right side on without having to evolve?

[uponit7771]

12. Sigh, Sanders hasn't evolved on not ONE issue!?! come on people..... lets not rose tine everyone

[CrispyQ]

3. I'm impressed with O'Malley & wish the media would give him more attention.

I hate how the media has so much influence in our elections, with who they pay attention to. The media needs to be included in election reform. They are a huge part of the problem.

I would love to see a Sander vs. O'Malley race. I agree with the pundit who stated that HRC has sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

4. "HRC has sucked all the oxygen out of the room"

But Bernie seems to be breathing just fine

[Hortensis]

13. My take: HRC did very, very well, "won" by holding her lead. Bernie also

did excellently, was very strong and impressive. He won (for all of us!) in that he will energize people behind his positions and be talked about a lot. BUT he looked physiologically old up there, and IMO that'll ultimately be a far, far bigger handicap than calling himself a democratic socialist. A shame. I liked his performance a lot.

O'Malley's statements were very good, but his voice was surprisingly weak and high, for weak deliveries. Even Hillary's voice came across deeper, stronger and more resolute. Such a shame. Maybe the media will push him forward as part of sabotaging Hillary. He's great in close-up interviews.

(Wondering: Would the failure of the most promising young male candidate to stand out encourage Biden to move in?)

Jim Webb may have done the Democratic Party some good by sounding aggressively militaristic to those who want that, especially many independents, but he shot himself down pretty good. Someone should have told him to can the "I did this and I did that" me-me-me delivery in favor of "WE need to do and WE will do."

Linc Chafee didn't just not do well, he killed himself off up there.
