'I have to give it to Martin O'Malley. He hit the nail on the head with "Muslim is not a slur." Hillary came close with, "This discussion is inappropriate." But I like O'Malley's statement better.'

I replied, 'I like O'Malley better PERIOD,' and my cyber friend, whom I met years ago during another presidential campaign, 'liked' my response.

Wanted to share a positive something.

It seems O'Malley is in a bit of rut right now, so any positive news is welcome.

His team has been incredibly quiet on twitter and he's had fewer public events lately. I keep hoping he's gearing up for a new phase of the campaign.

but noticed it changes day to day. After all, this week there was: Welcoming new Americans, http://www.democraticunderground.com/12813384; O'Malley talks marijuana in Denver, http://www.democraticunderground.com/12813395; MARTIN O'MALLEY ON THOM HARTMANN SHOW NOW!

You can see it on Free speech TV right now~!

For the second time this year, we, as Democrats, have had to sit idly by and listen

to the racist, sexist, and hate-spewing remarks that the Republicans have to offer. And what is our response? Silence. Crickets. An empty stage. ‪#‎WeNeedDebate‬. Join if you agree: https://your.martinomalley.com/page/s/debates?ms=stw-ahv; O'Malley's letter to Obama on the Syrian Crisis, http://www.democraticunderground.com/12813358

And this weekend, with Dems in NH.
