38. I wasn't on the Obama train

Thu Jun 25, 2015, 03:34 PM

Jun 2015

I was an Edwards supporter. I didn't get the 'glamour' and the 'ooh' and the 'ahh'.

I've always been a bit of a cynic. . . and the thing that 'got' me (aside from picking Sister Sarah Alaskastan) was knowing he WAS a community activist.

The thing the Republicans tried to use against - was what finally really appealed to me.

I want proof and receipts. And you know what - there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm going to need proof and receipts from O'Malley's opponents.
