In the most recent NH poll, O'Malley is at 2% [View all]

When he announced, almost 3 weeks ago, many DUers stated confidently that he'd pull support from Bernie. That doesn't seem to be happening.

I like O'Malley a lot, but how is he going to get support? He's been showing up in Iowa and NH, talking with voters.
Why is he having such a hard time?

He didn't 'get there' first. He's running in basically the exact same space as Bernie Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2015 #12
