The democratic senatorial debate last night

pretty much shook out the way I thought it would, with Citizen Warren looking to make a good first impression and the rest of the aspirants stepping up their game looking for constituencies within the democratic party that'll boost em' onto the ballot.
No fireworks in other words, but then that was no one's intention.
Up until about a month ago, this race had it's abstract qualities and was notable chiefly for who was not running, one good thing about Citizen Warren's candidacy is that it has concentrated people's minds and given the process concrete consequences.
Well, what can Humble Elias say?
The primary is eleven months away, the state convention (on which all democratic candidates for the US Senate are now focussed) is nine months off. Plenty to time to gin up a good donnybrook.
