6. Thanks for your comments. Now be sure to read the positives about O'Malley too.

With regard to Bernie, the fact that the CSM is confused about his party affiliation should tell you that he ought to do something about that. He ought to clearly identify himself as a democrat. Just my advice, which he is free to ignore.

Just like present unrest in Baltimore, which should be laid at the feet of the present mayor and not O'Malley, continues to dog O'Malley, so the "socialist" label will continue to dog Bernie until he makes it clear publicly that he is a democrat. Or at least call himself a "socialist democrat" rather than a "democratic socialist." Nouns have priority over adjectives.
