the reason for no big names being offered? Imo, there
was definitely an agreement between TPTB in the party
and the Clintons in 2008.

Thus it did not surprise me. If the party does not want
to have someone running seriously,then it won't support
anyone trying. O'Malley is probably trying for the
VP slot or anything in the Clinton administration. He will
just spar very gently with her.

Thus, I for one will stick to Bernie or Warren, even though,
or just because, I know the deck is stacked against them
on purpose. Already the push is on to cut down EW.
