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

The goal isn't to win the 1st debate, it is to have a good showing, catch some attention and more forward. O'Malley accomplished that and more. Next debate is in less than a month in Iowa. Advantage? O'Malley has a really strong grassroots campaign going there. Should be good.
