O'Malley is the best but the MSM has made this a two person race just like DU has, and they overlook the facts that O'Malley has better plans, they are all in writing for everyone to see, and has done many of the things the other two talk about, but have not done themselves.

He may be behind, but the votes are not in yet, so we will see what happens.
