11. I thought Anderson was mostly fair. O'Malley had to work for his spots and did well.

Anderson's prompting O'Malley to critisize HRC for being quick to military action (if I am remembering that right) was pretty bogus.

Here's what the College of William and Mary debate team thought:

Conclusion: Hands raised for O'Malley, 3, 6, 9, 13, it was unanimous, Martin O'Malley. "He stuck to the issues the most", the group said, "and he probably changed the most minds." " I don't think anyone who was not going to vote for Hillary before is voting for Hillary now. I think the same thing happened for Bernie. I think the only person who made any relative gains was Martin O'Malley."

I agree with them. O'Malley did great. His closing statement was awesome and the crowd really responded.

IMO, there really wasn't a winner at the first debate. The top 3 did good. FSogol Oct 2015 #13
