Winner of the MSNBC Democratic Forum

[Averroës Nix]

All three candidates made a positive impression on me, even O'Malley, whom I vehemently dislike. And Rachel Maddow was great, too. She's the first person to host a debate in this cycle without looking like an overly hostile, attention-starved loser.

I even liked the format. Debates tend to be gimmicky garbage. More televised forums, please.
