@MartinOMalley stopped by WWII #veteran "thank you, we appreciate what you said: we're not boots on the ground."

A mother of a service member to Governor O’Malley: "My son is not a pair of boots on the ground. These are American soldiers.” #DemDebate

1. That comment was the moment of the night. It underscored that O'Malley doesn't

see our soldiers as just political tools but as real people who deserve more respect.

Such a moment.

2. That was a wonderful O'Malley moment. So much easier to get into wars than out of them.

6. That was a really strong moment for him

Hopefully it manages to stick as that euphemism should go away when it comes to fighting wars.

7. good show of leadership

...kudos to O'Malley for getting to the heart of the rhetoric.

It's a compelling attitude toward war and the deployments of our men and women in the military.

8. One of the media people noted that there were a lot more comments about soldiers on the ground

this morning on the Sunday talk shows vs. "boots on the ground". What O'Malley said resonated big time.

9. that's good leadership

...from the heart.

That principled compassion of his becoming a trademark in this campaign.
