(11,589 posts)At this point, I am in support of Martin O'Malley. And I will admit what I am about to do is lame.
But, We have a group here on DU that is FOR a candidate and has an SoP that asks that no one tear down other democrats.
I am in complete agreement that we should be able to support the candidates we would like to see without tearing down other Democrats.
So, as I said, I would rise to your challenge.
and after Martin O'malley declares (this weekend) I really believe that the Democratic Primary will get very interesting.
Right now, when we look/listen to the MSM, it seems as though all eyes are on SoS/Senator Clinton.
Senator Sanders is getting very little attention. I believe that with O'Malley entering the race people will start to pay attention to the fact that the Dems are actually going to have a real primary. They will stop focusing on Hillary Clinton all day every day and will have to pay attention to the candidates that are running for office.
I think it is a good thing for all Dems. I think it will be a good thing for the O'Malley campaign. Just a few days, and the race for the democratic nominee begins.
