35. Warren/O'Mallley - or O'Malley/Warren: That's the ticket!

Great article; gutsy stand for him to take. I'm glad to see him for pushing that these kids be considered political refugees. Only fair considering how the CIA screwed over Central America for decades.

My Mom lived in Baltimore for over 40 years so I spent a lot of time there and followed the politics. Always admired O'Malley and would love to see him run.
