Hillary clearly know the politics of the region better than both of them - and since that issue is on people's minds tonight - she may win by default.

I wonder if his inevitable boost will be at Hillary's or Bernie's expense?

His politics is mostly despising republicans, so I use him as barometer. I told he'd probably like what he sees I'm O'Malley. He knows I support Hillary, but he hasn't made up his mind

Plus I think the carnival barker will be a big take away from tonight.
