He's a governor with little national exposure running against two Senators - one a former candidate, and the other a veteran politician who's been in the public eye for decades. Not to mention Bernie's familiarity to Democrats in New England. Why would anyone expect O'Malley to get traction in NH this early in the campaign?

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