Something to note -

There is no tit for tat sniping about what O'Malley was doing in the 1960's. Notice that elleng?

That was water table, and cops and robbers, and and hide and seek time for him. Like me, he's probably wondering why a Spandau Ballet song (True) is being used in a Verizon Wireless commercial to target teens and millenials. *scratching head* The life experience and our times gives him a unique perspective and approach.

He's on the line for being Just Another Gen Exer (get my user name?) and maybe that year or two overlap with the Boomers is why he has that positive attitude and isn't the typical cynical asshole My little generation - it's true - don't drag me - we are cynical . . .

It's time for a new generation that can bridge the millenials and boomers and silents and who gets -

No one can stand alone. We ave to be interdependent and rely on each other to move forward. We have to stop the 'enemy talk' from within not just our party - but our country.

Over there - on that side - they have Rubio. Good, bad, indifferent - they both represent something new in America. IE it's okay to not hate your next door neighbor because they have a different opinion on tax code than you.

Oh - and O'Malley - his success as a leader - Executive Leadership - shows clearly his ability to work with people to get things done.
