'The political sands in IA, NH, SC, and NV may be shifting.

More of these political activists gave Martin O'Malley the win than those who gave it to Bernie Sanders. Most of them say Hillary Clinton won; but a fair number say it was Martin O'Malley who won.

Bernie appears to be rocking his own boat. Many of his fervent supporters probably think in a good way, however....

"Nearly half of Democrats surveyed said the Vermont senator lost the debate, and only 10 percent of Democrats said he won. Those insiders who said Sanders had the worst night argued that he appeared out of his depth on foreign policy a day after terrorist attacks rocked France...."

“He made a mistake right off the bat in switching from Paris to the economy, and had an uneven performance,” a New Hampshire Democrat said.

"He was clearly not comfortable discussing detail on foreign policy matters," agreed another New Hampshire Democrat....
Meanwhile.....

"It was a very good night for O'Malley..." said an unaligned South Carolina Democrat....

“O'Malley showed he deserved to be in that stage and should be taken seriously,” a New Hampshire Democrat said.
"O'Malley seemed to be the only one that didn't have a tin ear!”
