Pithy debate wrapup

Ross wins. She's the new Eugene Debs.

Healey should have followed Alison King's lead and panned Mitt Romney's anti-MA stumping. Bad move, Kerry! Other than that, she was good on substance (if you like her shtick, which I don't) but bad on aesthetics.

Patrick's reputation as a vague talker got worse tonight. His roughest debate, I'd say. Deval, you've got figure out how to pull that Boston Common stuff on TV.

Mihos is going to crack 10 percent in the final.

Gergen's a milquetoast.

We need a Patrick-Healey debate.
