I support Martin O'Malley (rant).. I supported his thinking about running

[Peacetrain]

2 years ago.. I still support him today.

Is it an uphill battle?.. of course.. my Mother did not raise fools..

Having said that though...his insights into the environment, economoy, security issues and being a country true to its values we keep bragging about.. is important.

His voice needs to be heard.

And I really have no patience with those who think they are so privileged that they can tell us to move on.. or our candidate to step aside..

Thanks for reading.. and thank you to those who support our candidate being in this race, even if they support someone else.. thank you

5. There have been numerous ops about it.

Under the current system I don't want to link to them. They are out there.

4. Love love love O'Malley.

Up until about two months ago he was my choice. I am excited about his future.

I have said it over and over again. We all win when O'Malley speaks and is heard.

6. Thanks NC.. we sure are better for his insight..

I just put this up.. sort of as an example of why I feel so strongly about him

7. Fully agree. I have an O'Malley dream I have only recently started discussing out of respect for....

his supporters.

My dream: His campaign platform is adopted as the Democratic Party Platform at the convention. Clinton then appoints him to head up the DNC. I really don't think a lot of people understand the amazing importance of the DNC and how difficult of a job it is. I believe O'Malley has the depth, energy, intelligence, and progressive values to begin to build the party after a long time of decline. We have actually been making progress with support in total numbers while losing more and more down-ticket seats. That is unacceptable and I think O'Malley has what it takes to make the two work together as they should.

8. I like him a lot.

I think he has a lot to offer, and I want him heard. I have been a Bernie fan for years and years, before he was a candidate for President, or I would be supporting MOM.

[Peacetrain]

12. He really does have much to offer

9. Thanks. Nor do I have such patience, OR

with those who say things like 'he's young,' and 'he'd make a good v.p.,' consequently I don't respond to such.

13. Did you hear about Donald Trump

O'Malley must be getting under his skin..

10. I really like O'Malley. I would be comfortable with him as our next president.

And I hope he is able to join the next debate. I think it would be a mistake to keep him out.

[Peacetrain]

15. If you get a chance to hear him speak fleur-de-lisa

he is so upbeat about where the country can go..

11. Anyone who says MO'M should drop out can pound sand IMO.

Don't let them get to you.
