The infighting is getting insane around here, and I think O'Malley would be able win over all voters, young, old, male or female. He should be much further ahead in the polls, but the MSM has made sure this is a battle between Hillary and Bernie. I think the reason for this is that the GOP fears him more than the other two because he can unit democrats, not divide them.

I see some here have already thrown him under the bus, but as has been said many times, DU is not reflective of real life, and in real life, I think many will give him a second look over, and decide that he should be their number one pick, not number 2.

Thanks for posting ellen.
