Soo, thoughts?? Anyone you're rooting for yet? What will you be looking for? Will you be watching at all? What questions do you hope the candidates are asked?
Personally I think Elizabeth Warren has a great chance to shine as the front runner of the first night's candidates. Biden's poll numbers have been trending down and he's been trying to keep a low profile in general, so it will be interesting to see how he plays this. Bernie needs to be well-prepped for foreign policy and trade questions, those may hurt him if he doesn't have solid answers.
