I think the main reason they seem so unprepared is because all of this is taking place under the shadow of yesterday's attacks. It colored all of the topics and now they're scared shitless about the possibility a Paris/terrorism related gaffe.

Check them against current intelligence of known ISIS/AQ associates, interview them repeatedly and check their story for inconsistencies.

To be fair you don't have to prepare for the GOP debates. You just have to be really good at pulling stuff from your rear end and looking like you know what you're talking about.

Bernie is not doing great, Clinton is doing pretty good considering the questions and double teaming, O'Malley is outperforming expectations by a little.

It won't matter so much how the candidates are doing in the back-and-forth, because nobody's watching it. The clips coming out of this will be much more important.

So far, I think O'Malley is winning those.

worse still, they didn't even peg the jingoism correctly. The hawk voter isn't going to be won over by that shoddy performance. All it does is strengthen the mythos of the US as the great intervener. Ugh.
