No wonder our elections are so screwed up. Lemmings, not free thinkers.

After the first debate. I watched the CSPAN hall of fame coverage where O'Malley, Clinton, and Sanders all had a chance to speak. O'Malley did a great job and I think he out did both Clinton and Sanders. Others don't agree, but it's my take on what I saw. I think he will do a good job in the debates, and that should kick up his numbers. It will be a tough road for him since the media wants this to be "only" about Clinton and Sanders, but he can do it.

Here on DU I don't think things will change. There is to much fighting between the other two sides and that pretty much dominates the discussions around here. There are some posters here who only want to see DU divided, and they are doing a pretty good job of it. Sadly that takes away from getting O'Malley's message out. The good thing is DU is NOT the real world, so O'Malley has a chance to change things and get the attention of more voters. It's early yet, so he has time.

I'm WITH you, especially your optimism.

The Dinner was GREAT, and MANY do agree that he came out ahead of the others. A significant example here, has been taken up by a number of outlets but first from WSJ, a good understanding with to Governor O'Malley:
