and I'm not even going to be shy about that. I like the Governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley, too. Both are solid Democrats. Why try to shame people into silence of Democratic candidates that they like just because they aren't your particular pick?

It seems like a self-defeating purpose to deride particular politicians when you are complaining that people are deriding ... a politician (Obama). What gives?
