9. I don't think O'Malley did what was necessary.

I think Clinton was the class of the field with Sanders and O'Malley right there next to her. That just doesn't get it done for O'Malley. I do think it is good enough for Sanders. With his upward trend and past debate history he has to be nothing but happy. He didn't hurt himself. Clinton topped it in stature by a pretty good amount. When you are the unchallenged frontrunner that is what you need to do.
