Let me say this - Choosing between O'Malley and Sanders [View all]
Is an embarrassment of riches. I haven't seen two better people run for President in my lifetime.
Neither of them mince words, and say what needs to be said. Bernie called Charleston on the racist motivation that it was. O'Malley steps up to the plate, too, but hasn't gotten enough airplay, imho.
These are two fantastic people that could lead our country into a future that isn't owned by crony capitalism.
I still lean Bernie, though, because he has had 40 years to be the wealthy insider on the Senate and still held firm principles. He is exactly as financially prosperous as he was before he was elected.
He didn't take bribes, use insider information, and hip check corporations in exchange for votes.
That alone should make him noteworthy and refreshingly honest.
O'Malley is genuine as well, and I like him. I don't have as much information on him, but I am mightily encouraged by his stances. He served the state of Maryland well by all accounts as its Executive, and that experience speaks toward his leadership.
