Who won the debate?

[DFW]

22. This is the first one I have been in the States for

I only saw the second hour. I won't even start to pick a winner. I agree with Eugene Robinson--it was a "Bernie Sanders debate." Sanders held his own, but Clinton did as so well, especially since in the part I saw, she was mostly responding to answers by Sanders to questions posed to him. O'Malley got the short end of the stick, but did very well considering the moderators treated him as a peripheral participant.

Both Clinton and Sanders stuck to their main points and skirted vulnerabilities. O'Malley didn't get the honor of being challenged on any of his perceived vulnerabilities, which was almost unfair, as he didn't get the chance to have any challenges tossed in his face to show how he'd fight back. Clinton and Sanders did, and showed that neither of them was willing to give an inch.

The primaries will have to be won on the ground by the organizations of the various candidates, because on the basis of what I saw, no real weakness was displayed by any of them. We have 3 candidates, any of which who could trash any of the Republicans in a non-Fox Noise-addled country. Even in a country where Fox Noise washes the brains of millions of voters, the vast difference in the level of intelligence, competence, and just overall awareness of the Democrats vs. the Republicans SHOULD shine through to all but the most befuddled of Foxsucker voters.

*on edit--I thought O'Malley had a brilliant and relaxed post-debate interview. It wouldn't surprise me to see his numbers go up at some point, if people were still watching.
