As @MartinOMalley signs his cast, Mitchell says he once had @BarackObama sign a shirt, so this is good luck #iacaucus



In Asbury, O'Malley signed a cast worn by 8-year-old Mitchell Murphy. President Barack Obama signed a shirt that Murphy was wearing during his campaign in 2007, so Murphy said he's probably a sort of good luck charm for candidates.

"Now, Martin O'Malley, he's gonna be probably the new president," Murphy said after the signing.

1. It's a nice thought, but I really think it'll take more than that.

3. Like decent reporting would help, CalPeg.

4. ya think?

...just a cute kid with a precious perspective on the campaign.

Of course, I can just hear some DUers reacting...no effin' way, man!

2. Yes... he must do something extraordinary to get out of that low single digit %

I'm seeing....

I like O'Malley and would be glad to back him if he gets nominated. He is actually my second choice after Bernie.

5. Decent reporting would help a lot, Bellower.

6. no room for some levity, and a bit of generosity for this young political enthusiast

...my DU. Smh.

7. I could live with MOM, but I really do think it's gonna be Bernie, my first choice after Elizabeth made clear she wasn't running...

If she endorses Bernie, as I expect she will, then it's a done deal; he'll be our nominee and the next President.

8. it's just a cute post

...with a cute sentiment from a precious child.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised DUers can't see past the competitiveness here. What a disappointment to find three posts actually contesting this young fellow. Just sours me on this place.

11. Yeah, maybe we should start a sub-thread about whether the kid is due for a loser.

Or we could ask whether he might be a Clinton plant who's pumping up O'Malley to undercut Sanders.

Or we can just take the easy way out and implicate Glenn Greenwald somehow or other.

10. Kick, very cute!

[bigtree]

14. yeah, he's a cutie

...if I were a campaign op, I'd send my candidate right away to include their own sig on his lucky cast.

17. So this little guy was a 1 year old when he met Obama, gets a T shirt signed, now O'Malley

signs his cast. I suspect his parents are active in politics..how cool is that. Great little story,
you never know who/what will make an impression on a child..very cool.

18. Mitchell Murphy for President 2048!

Get on the bandwagon now, DUers!
