To me, Chafee was the weakest by far. He criticized Hillary on her Iraq War vote (while claiming he somehow "did his homework" and determined there were no WMD in Iraq....hmmmmm) saying a one time mistake by Hillary at a crucial time can't be overlooked......then when confronted about a vote that he made, he gave a "my dog ate my homework" excuse and said he was brand new to the Senate and his father had just died and.......it was sad. Plus, throughout his career, he's taken on any party label he thinks will get him elected. In that regard, he's Hillary-light. He's kind of a doofus.....
O'Malley was trying to be as confrontational/controversial as the party and the format would allow....occassionally....his best line of the night was directed at Debbie Washerwoman Shultz. If you want to know why he should be nowhere near the WH, just visit MD and see what his legacy is....Baltimore in particular....he can use all the selective time period statistics he wants....his ultra lib leadership put Balto in deep plantation doo-doo.
Webb, Webb, Webb.....if he had any pride he would have left the stage and stopped the guilt by association factor before people consider him an ultra leftie as well. If he left the Rep party because as a "centrist" he didn't feel comfortable there, where is he going next ? The Dems (at least those on the stage with him) all endorsed vastly more liberal policies than he did with his "centrist" positions. And, I believe they are all in that party's mainstream at this point. Maybe he'll have a wake up call and announce he's no longer a Dem (even a half hearted one) and stop embarassing himself.
Bernie and Hillary sitting in a tree.....shows how sympatico these two really are....
