I do believe that if Sanders wasn't in this race that most of his supporters would be on O'Malley's bandwagon. He has a very similar platform to Sanders and he's running as a populist as well. Most don't like Clinton and Martin would be a fine choice if not for Bernie (sorry, 40 years of Sanders' consistency gets my vote this time).

But...as we all know, the Democratic leadership doesn't care about any candidate but Clinton. Everyone else is a threat to their power. Especially Bernie and Martin. Therefore they get ignored while Clinton gets the press. It's a damn shame really because both are 1000% times the candidate Clinton is.
