That seemed like a good way to knock the candidates off their scripted talking points and see how well they respond to surprises. They all did it well.

It’s the longest I’d ever heard O’Malley talk and it seems to me that he’s got some fire in his belly about the party. I would kinda like to see him as the national chair.

I agree with Onomatopoeia that Sanders did not handle the guns question well. I know, for me, this is one of the stronger and more troubling issues I have with his candidacy and he did not do a lot to quell my fears.
