Oh yeah.. we need his intellect and problem solving to help pull us out of the mess we are in with the current resident of the White House.. I am on board Martin if you decide to run

O'Malley was my first choice last time. I think he was neck and neck with Chafee and Webb when it comes to delivery.
BTW, our next President needs to tap Webb for prison reform.

(30,481 posts)Kerry and O'Malley. Our problems won't be fixed by short phrases and these men possess depth. There is still the salesperson aspect that is very important.
I hope to have the chance to support O'Malley. Even if I don't vote for him you will not see me say one negative thing about him if he runs. I simply like him a lot. I think we need someone like him and from his history he seems to be a politician with little fear. He wants to make progress. That would be a breath of fresh air right now.

(13,390 posts)I would have liked to see Bernie and Hillary work together to mentor him and help him become a stronger campainer. I really like his soothing demeanor, but it doesn't translate well to the national stage.
