from Martin O'Malley, a personal request:

Ellen,

Two months ago I announced I was running for president—and was polling in Iowa at 1%.

Since then, I've flown back and forth to Iowa seven times, and am going there again this week. I've shaken every hand that has crossed my path and answered every question. Now, a new poll puts us at 7% in Iowa. Seven. Percent.

This is real movement, this is a growing campaign, and at this rate we CAN win the Iowa caucuses, but I need your help today to keep the gas in the tank during these dog days of summer. Donate just $10 today:

Together, we will do this.

Thanks,

Martin

1. This is good to see.

I hate to see someone who is actually working for the election not seeing improvement. Good news.

I would donate but I already maxed out our personal family limit with Bernie and that is where it will stay but I am glad to see this.

2. Thanks. Yes, I'm very pleased to see this.

I'm close to maxing out too, but just decided IRS will have to take a back seat this month, MuseRider!
