We have a pretty deep bench of Qualified Democratic Candidates, so I am keeping my mind open

I like all of our candidates, but it is certainly time to give *ALL* of them some consideration.

It's primary season for a reason.

I like O'Malley.

I like Sanders.

I like Clinton.

I don't like bandwagons. They make me nervous.

Just saying.

Keep an eye on O'Malley in the coming months. I think he is going to move a little. It won't take much for him to be in contention with Sanders. From there, anything is possible. I think he may be able to pull some of the more establishment support if he can start making a move.

Still, anyone who pick any of those candidate is an ally. Happy choosing to you.

I can see myself voting for Sanders or O'Malley.

Not a fan of Clinton, or Biden, but they are better than any R.

Edit: Yes, I know Biden has not officially declared. I am cool with him running if he decides to, I just want someone new.
