May 2015

He established himself as a non status quo member of the Democratic party, much more
so than Dodd and Biden. What he does not have yet is media attention, once he meets
that hurdle, he could catch on too. I support Bernie Sanders, if for whatever reason,
O'Malley came to win the nomination I would be relieved and pleased to see him in the WH.

I am in the no more status quo camp.
