Looks like a debate stage worker who advises Hilldog and Bernie:

Every one is making fun of Martin O'Malley. I find that funny.
Being more serious, Hillary is a strong debater. She'll probably win. Sanders has a chance, though. I have no idea why Martin O'Malley is still in this race. He has no chance.

Does anyone else wonder whether O'Malley will go after Sanders, in an extremely aggressive way, on the data breach? (Or maybe he'll choose to attack both Clinton and Sanders on the subject?) Either way, he is usually the least reluctant of the three reluctant to criticize the other candidates, I think both out of desperation and by demeanor, and it's difficult to imagine that he would let this slip, although he's remained silent on the topic so far.

THANK YOU FOR THE INPUT

Anyone want to try to guess the TV audience for this debate?  The November CBS Democratic debate, which I think was also held on a Saturday, drew 8.5 million. 

My guess is this one will draw closer to 6.3 million.  A Saturday debate on the second busiest shopping day of the year up against an NFL game involving the Cowboys has to do worse than the last one.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz deliberately scheduled these debates so that few would watch.

And to top it off she got lucky and drew Star Wars opening weekend.

O'Malley I think is still running for VP and will attack Cruz, Trump and Rubio.

I'll guess even lower: No more than 3-4 million people will watch this debate live and most of them will probably be what the Catholic mass used to refer to as the old, the lonely, and the forgotten.

And I won't be catching this live either, home for break and have other plans for tonight. Not like this will change anything anyways, unless Clinton announces she killed Foster or something.

I'm working so I won't watch it live either. Maybe I'll catch it later if I have time.

I will watch some of it. The debates may have been entertaining if Gore, Warren, Rendell were in the race.

Yeah, I kind of think Clinton will let the data breach slide, or just go with "I'll wait until all the facts are known to comment..." or something, but O'Malley will make some hay over it. It'll be interesting to see whether he thinks his potential support will come more from current Clinton supporters or Sanders supporters.

One thing I like about the DNC debates is that they're on real channels like ABC instead of like Fox Business Network.

ABC's World News Tonight anchor David Muir will anchor, and ABC Foreign Policy Correspondent Martha Raddatz will moderate the debate.

It just started. Political analysts are talking. Candidates should be onstage soon.
