While the Republican field has not narrowed significantly (Walker took a walk and Perry poopsed out – but there are still 8 “major” GOP candidates, 4 “undercard” candidates and 3 who are candidates in name only, no longer welcome on the debate stage), the Democratic primary field has been cut in half – from 6 to 3. Tonight we will see front-runner former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her opponents Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Governor Martin O’Malley (D-MD).
We do NOT recommend playing any drinking games if you have to drive and do NOT play any drinking games that include “against it from day one” “lifelong Democrat” “millionaires and billionaires” and “my granddaughter” as it may result in alcohol poisoning!
Here is a rundown of what to expect (besides reasoned discussion and clearheaded answers to actual questions): 6 things to watch at the Iowa Democratic debate
Bernie Sanders has been more aggressive on the stump toward Hillary Clinton lately, but she has continued to be largely deferential toward him, focusing most of her fire on Republicans. That’s because Sanders needs Clinton to falter if he’s to gain ground, while Clinton wants to avoid any scars that might prevent the Vermont senator and his supporters from backing her as the nominee with enthusiasm.[…]
There was a time when [Hillary] was directing her scorn mostly at former Florida governor Jeb Bush, but that was when he was expected to lead the field. While Donald Trump and Ben Carson continue to top the polls, the conventional wisdom now views Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as the most likely finalists for the nomination. Do her barbs indicate that she agrees? […]
The former two-term governor of Maryland has had little success in breaking through, at least so far. The debate gives him one more chance to make an impression. He’s struggled to register in national polls, although a CBS News/New York Times Poll out this week put him at a new high: 5%. The debate “may be Gov. O’Malley’s Waterloo moment,” says Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan.

UPDATED – Links to video
This is the link to the start of the debate, provided by CBS:
CBS News: Democratic Party Debate Begins
These links, provided by HillarySpeeches.com, go directly to the 6 parts. The video appears on the left under the list of links. The far lower left is what is running LIVE on the CBSNews.com video feed. After the break for the commercial, you may want to close the video and open the next unless you want to see CBS News soundbites created from the debate.
Part 1 – Opening / Terrorism
Part 2 – Paying for New Programs / Healthcare
Part 3 – Immigration / Minimum Wage
End of first hour.
Part 4 – Wall Street
Part 5 – Getting things done with conservative Congress / Clinton’s Emails
Part 6 – Dealing with Crises / Closing
One note: you may want to listen rather than view because CBS has chosen to scroll “related” Tweets next to the video, some of them very insulting. It is allowing the Republicans a chance to attack, without any pushback or factchecking, the Democratic candidates during their own debate.
UPDATE 2: YouTube videos of the debate from CBSNews YouTube channel:
Part 1: Candidates address Paris attacks, ISIS (32:15 minutes)
Part 2: Candidates spar on the economy (9:14 minutes)
Part 3: Candidates lay out vision for domestic agenda (8:38 minutes)

I will probably watch on TV and on Twitter.
Thanks for this, Jan. Was barely aware there was a debate tonight, as I’ve spent little time on politics lately.
O’Malley might have done all right in a different election cycle, but I just can’t get excited over yet another white male.
We tend to start snoring after 9 p.m., so we’ll watch as much as we can before we conk out.
I know that feeling! With the sun going down at 4:30pm, I start nodding off around 7:30!
I will probably not stay awake for the 2nd hour.
I did not watch it live but followed it on Twitter for a while. I watched as much as I could Sunday morning via the CBS video links which are confusing, at best.
Expect to hear about the Paris attacks:

Thanks for the summaries – it’s about all I really need to know about the debate!
I am not sure if it changed anyone’s mind but it made my choice a little more solid.
