Political Cornflakes: Joe Biden holds his own in latest Democratic debate even if he doesn’t make waves

Happy Friday! It was actually a debate -- all the leading Democratic contenders on stage in Houston last night went back and forth on actual issues. With the candidates polling 1 percent largely excluded from the debate, there were fewer bomb-throwing attacks (there still were some). Former Vice President Joe Biden may not have gained any new ground but he didn’t falter either. [Politico]

Topping the news: Nearly 280 square miles of federal land in Utah could be open to new oil and gas development following the latest lease auction by the BLM.
