I would vote for Warren of course, but for those on the fence watching the debate I think she didn't come across well. Brown obviously is the politician here -- he addressed the camera, prepared ready-to-run hit lines, was animated and frankly looked comfortable being on camera (clothes or not). I have great respect for Warren but this was not her forum and it showed.

I sure hope there aren't any more debates and that there's enough time to work this small cramp out because it is critical to the make up of the Senate.
