His leadership was underwhelming, IMO, but I voted for him, of course. Wasn't crazy about it when, as Mayor, he advocated slashing the Denver Public School funding by $300 million. There have also been questions over his cosy relationship with the oil and gas industries. Usually, he was a reliable although moderate Democrat. That's all.

The debates will be largely a waste of time, even with only half the candidates on stage each night. But we'll probably see half the candidates drop out before Iowa and maybe half of the remaining group will be gone after New Hampshire. I'd guess no more than half a dozen - maybe as few as 3 - on Super Tuesday.
