Martin O'Malley
Related: About this forumI liked Martin O'Malley in the Rachel interviews.
I'm a Canadian so "just watching", so don't mind me.
At first I thought he was wooden, his eyes too fixed on Maddow's.
But under Rachel's sharp questioning he opened up and showed a very human side, a caring side which matched his accomplishments, which are many. A fact that when he left office, the office didn't do as well, isn't to be blamed on him. Else it'd be a crazy world.
Now I'm going to listen to Bernie Sanders

(50,130 posts)And a 40-something woman watching it with me really liked him. She doesn't like Hillary and thinks Bernie is too old, so O'Malley struck a chord with her.
I support Bernie, but O'Malley would be my second choice now. He's a decent man.

(13,629 posts)It was a good first impression for me. We could all benefit from more of his platform discussion.

(38,269 posts)I still like Bernie but I'm leaning more towards O'Malley. He was articulate, he has good screen presence & in this digital age, that is important. But I liked his ideas & how he presented them. And his record, since I've been reading more about him.
I'm more & more pissed at the media. One pundit said that HRC has sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Well, yeah, & a lot of it is your doing, you morans! She's all you talk about. Oh & the clusterfuck on the right. The media is such a big part of our problem.
