It seems to me that the media is prioritizing drama over serious conversations. It is so irritating when Martin O'Malley has been so thorough on positions and plans. Then we have Bernie and Hillary talking gotcha politics or sound bites and it just seems childish.

I'm more and more impressed with him as I hear more from him. I so want to see him get more attention. Maybe it's up to us?
