for some years now, even though I live in New Mexico, and before that, Kansas. I had not even heard of O'Malley until some time late last year.

I have a very highly favorable opinion of Sanders.

I have no actual opinion of O'Malley, but I'm prepared to like him once I learn more about him. Or not like him as the case may be.
