The Georgetown cocktail party didn't like Rubio's debate performance

ABC's short post-debate analysis on Saturday panned Sen. Marco Rubio's (R) canned perfomance, agreeing his unexpectedly strong third-place finish in the Iowa caucus did not help him through a rough debate in New Hampshire.
Republican political consultant Matthew Dowd said Rubio's poor performance kept more Republican underdogs—like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R)—in the race than before the debate.
"I think Jeb Bush, watching that tonight, if Jeb Bush finishes fourth or fifth, Jeb Bush is thinking, this guy is not going to last," Dowd said.
Democratic consultant Donna Brazile also called it a bad night for Rubio.
