This poll is YUGE! All other polls are loosers! You're going to win so much in this poll you're going to want truck loads of money to stop coming to your front door! We're going to build a 30 foot wall made from used Marco Rubio water bottles all the way around this poll!...

Ok, this is pure horse race. Who is going to gain the most percentage points in the polls following the debate tonight? Now think about it, and don't just place a vote for the person you support. Who really has the most to gain and the most to lose? Who's going to take advantage of their strengths in a debate to gain in the coming polls?

I know many are repulsed by polls, but they really do matter. They matter this early because they can determine how much media coverage you get (can you say Donald Trump) and free coverage can make a Yuge difference in a campaign.

So place your bets and tell your reasons in the comments and turn off your caps and don't be HRing the crap out of people.

I'm going with O'Malley. If he clones Bernie's policies, and separates himself from HC, he comes across as the young, pretty alternative.

UPDATE: Coming around the corner post, O'Malley and Sanders are neck and neck with Clinton 2 lengths behind! An interesting side note. Polls that ask who will win something tend to be more accurate than polls that ask who you support.

UPDATE 2: As we come down to the finish line, it looks like most people here believe Bernie will gain the most from the debate with equal numbers for HC and O'Malley. Hmmm, the breakdown between Bernie and HC appears to be about the same as the support for each in the community. That kinda makes me believe that some of the die hard supporters aren't taking a step back and taking an outsiders view of the debate.

I suspect the viewers for this debate won't be anywhere near the viewers of the Repub debate. The main reason is the Dems tuned in to see if the clowns were going to crash the clown car, while Tea Baggers can't stand to even look at a Dem.

This will be a test to see if our community is blinded by the passion of their support for the candidate of choice, or are we taking a real look at this campaign and are we responding appropriately. Well, we'll see, and everyone enjoy the wonderful candidates tonight that have chosen to run for OUR nomination.
