All right. All FIVE hours of Town Halls with the major candidates are now done. I can’t be the only person who watched each one of them. My Red Sox were rained out tonight, after all, and I can DVR anything else I may otherwise be inclined to watch.

So now let the debates begin!

Who had the best performance? Who had the best answers, the most detail, the greatest passion, the best anecdotal flourish? Or who had the most word salad answers, total deflections of tough questions, or amount of awkward weird smiles looking directly into the camera like they were holding in gas?

Any outright fibs, crazy embellishments, wild exaggerations, outright lies? I did not see any of those from any of the candidates—didn’t honestly expect to, but I could have missed something.

You can vote in the poll below, which until it gets freeped beyond all relevance could be interesting to follow. You know who you are, Gabbard supporters.

Beyond that, state your case for your vote in the comments. Talk about what you liked and what drove you mad. Talk about anyone you wished had been involved, instead of someone who was. Bemoan what you wished someone would have asked one them but didn’t. Justify why there is nothing wrong about the way that the gleam in Sanders’ eyes or Klobuchar’s smile gives you impure thoughts that make your bathing suit area tingle. Ya freak.

I have some strong thoughts about what happened, and who I thought won, but I will leave it for the comments and not express them up here.

And I just want to say, because I am awfully proud of this, for the poll I managed to spell Mayor Pete’s last name right on the first try.
