Winners: Charlie Gibson and anyone else involved in setting up this excellent format; the Seattle Seahawks; Jacksonville Jaguars, as of this writing; those who chose to watch something else.

Losers: Anyone who watched this marathon.

I wouldn’t pretend to know the psychological dynamics and preferences of New Hampshire Democrats. I don’t think anything happened tonight that will alter what is a close race between Obama and Hillary, with Edwards behind them. If you were giving Obama a second look after Iowa, you were probably pleased with what you saw. Maybe some Hillary-ites will be frightened by her kinda shrill, “I’ve been fighting for change for 35 years” burst, but the accounts of it that I’ve seen around the web make it sound worse than I think it was.

Stephanopolous just said “there was so much fatigue on their faces,” and I concur.
