75. O'Malley is a good man also, I'd be cool with him as POTUS also

Hillary is fine with me too. For whatever reason, mainly the media, O'Malley has not caught on yet. Maybe he will. He's been a Governor, which is a huge plus for him. Hillary has two big pluses: she's been Bill Clinton's wife so she's seen national politics up close and personal for many years, and she's been SoS, so she has foreign policy experience. But... she's NEVER been an administrator and neither has Bernie.

O'Malley has administrative experience. A GIGANTIC plus for him. For my own deeply personal reasons I don't get more involved in politics than this board and talking to my super-activist Democratic brother in real life, but again I'd be cool with O'Malley.

eta: I stand corrected, they all have admin. experience.
