There are still many candidates to declare, but she's making it very clear that she is for real and will not be knocked off easily. She has my primary vote so far.

for the rest to match. This is what should be happening so that we elect the best candidate for all of us.

when it seemed like she wasn't answering a question so much as using the question as a jumping off point to give a well-rehearsed speech.

This isn't a complaint, and she did seem to speak from the heart at times, but just an observation.

Too soon to choose amongst the crowd so far, but she's got a damn good shot at it.

And absolutely my vote if she makes it to the general.

but she does have undeniable star power. I also remember BO being a bit rough in the beginning. This is for all the marbles...

No sense in particularizing Ms. Harris for that sort of criticism. It was a bravura performance, by and large.
