Lots of negativity about Hillary and Bernie, but none about O'Malley.

[Nye Bevan]

Brings to mind 2004 when DU was all about Dean versus Clark, then John Kerry surged out of nowhere to grab the nomination.

And bear in mind that the master politician Bill Clinton predicted in 2002 that O'Malley would become president.

1. THere have been comments he is to tough on crime

That is about all I have heard.

2. "Lot's of Negativity" on DU. That's the basis for your analysis of O'Malley's prospects?

Good luck.

3. Just wait until he announces and starts going after Hillary, which he will.

I'd love to see him and Sanders pull Hillary's numbers down. If/when O'Malley makes movement in the polls and calls out Hillary, DU will foam at the mouth with negativity towards him.

4. I'm glad to hear Bill Clinton predicted that O'Malley would become president,

and glad I wasn't at DU 'when DU was all about Dean versus Clark,' because I was all about Clark then, and heard that DU was very negative about him.

5. Who is O'Malley

The media is not covering Bernie because if he wins they fear he won't be in a position to spend a billion on commercial ad buys. The media knows that Hillary will spend the bucks, and no one knows who O'Malley is.

7. Many do know,

and more will know after tomorrow, when O'Malley announces.

[Proud Public Servant]

6. Negativity goes hand-in-hand with passionate support

And you're not seeing that for O'Malley, either. I say that as someone who may well vote for him; I like him, but the decision to vote for him will come from my head, not my heart.

8. He's been pinging in the back of my brain for about the same reason

He seems a very solid candidate, and is kind of coasting under the slapfights for now.

I like this Primary season. I think that whoever coems out ahead, i can be... acceptably content.

9. Everyone's second choice, but almost nobody's first choice.

Also snakebit--Baltimore riots were a blemish. And his big rollout is being overshadowed by Dennis Hastert, of all people.

[frylock]

10. His Broken Windows policy was discussed during the Baltimore demonstrations..

I was pretty big on him until learning of that.
