“The history of our presidential primary shows us that usually there is an inevitable

(early) front-runner, but only up until the very first contest. And then, especially in the Democratic Party, usually a candidate emerges who represents the voice of a new generation of Americans." O'Malley told the Detroit News.

Michigan Radio quoted an even pithier O'Malley remark. The former Governor said, "A person can become very, very famous in our country overnight, once the people of Iowa make their determination." . .

As for O'Malley, he told the Detroit News what he'd do next. "I’m virtually unknown and I’m following that path of other unknowns — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and others who, nonetheless, climbed into a van and went town to town to town across Iowa. I’ve been in 25 counties of the 99 so far in Iowa and I intend to get to the others and then go back around for a second round."
