Democratic Debate

++Josh Marshall thought Hillary helped herself more than Bernie but he thought both did fine.

++Nate Silver wondered how the feisty Bernie Sanders comes over rather than the friendly grandfatherly one. Nate reminds everyone that Hillary wrapping herself in Obama's mantle may have something to do with Iowa Caucus goers approve of Obama more than 90%. 

++I thought Hillary knew how to speak to the concerns of the Black Caucus, which co-sposored this debate. She poke about the structural racism in our justice system and opened with reference to Martin Luther King's birthday. And in South Carolina primary, the the votes tend to take on more color.

++Josh Marshall said that the Republican debates are great for the print media but this one was a reality-based debate on policy. How can you mix the two.
