3. I really like the final part about the suggestion that he run again.

O’Malley, toward the end of the interview, recounted how a man in Iowa approached him and — with the campaign clearly not looking so healthy at that point — pleaded with him to “promise” that he’d run again.

“And I said to him, ‘No!’” O’Malley said. His son, William, was with him as the interaction took place. When it was done, he turned to his dad: “It is like volunteering for a second waterboarding before the first one is done.”

William is a great kid. All of O'Malley's children are outstanding. Katie is special as well. This family belongs in the White House.
