Does anyone else feel like this about O'Malley?

Today, for reasons too many to enumerate, I am feeling both Clinton and Sanders fatigue. At the same time, I am feeling very comfortable with and proud of Martin O'Malley. I don't feel anger; I don't feel hatred; I don't feel sadness. I feel peace and contentment. The odds of O'Malley's winning the primary do not look favorable. But he keeps going. He keeps working to get his ideas out, and they are damn good ideas. I think he believes that these ideas are more important than whether he wins or loses. I think he is running for president because he believes it is the right thing -- the principled thing -- to do. However well he does in the "race," I feel proud of him.

Are many others starting to feel the same way? If so, what does this mean? What benefit will it have for the Democratic party and the people of America? Maybe more than a primary or election is at stake.
