Feeling good about the CNN Town-hall and Gov. O'Malley

[Peacetrain]

At first I was a little leery.. and then the more I thought about it.. the better I have been feeling

Out here on the western borders of Iowa.. we have a LOT of uncommitted Democrats headed to caucus.. and now that I have found out the the CNN Town-hall tonight is going to be a 30 minute Q&A with each candidate.. I have been on the phone all day calling people I know who are Democrats and undecided to watch..My church directory has been on speed dial

I usually do not do that, and I hope Martin hits it out of the ball park..but this should be a good way to settle things in the minds of a number of people I know.

1. THANKS and GREAT to see this, peace!

Note: O'Malley earns endorsement of the Des Moines County Democratic Party's chairwoman at town hall meeting in Burlington, posted in MO'M Group and GD-P.

2. ellen I just saw that.. very excited about that

3. Is Hillary going to let MOM speak?

She has an agenda here ... She has an axe to grind ...

She is aiming for one specific tree to hew ...

[Peacetrain]

4. No they all get a half hour is how I understand it Trajan

I think Sen Sanders goes first.. then Gov O'Malley.. then Sec Clinton..

8. naturally clinton gets the last word.

but the organizer is on team clinton so no surprise.

i still think martin and bernie will do great...this type of event is their strength

[Peacetrain]

9. It should give our people a chance to cross compare the three

Of course I am hoping that the host asks good questions that will help with that..

[restorefreedom]

10. don't know much about cuomo, the mod.

i think with all the debate unfairness, if he tries to sandbag bs or mom it will be painfully obvious to everyone.

is the audience asking questions, too? that would be interesting.

[Peacetrain]

11. If I understand it correctly restore.. its just questions from Cuomo..

I have caught him a few times on CNN.. and he runs hot and cold.. you never know with him..

[restorefreedom]

12. thx....mmmm..too bad..questions from the audience would have been nice

so its pot luck with cuomo, hey? keeping fingers crossed!

[Peacetrain]

5. I think we are also going to have decent weather for caucus

out here on the western borders.. so nothing to hold back turnout for our part of Iowa

[JustAnotherGen]

6. I do too

And I think he is going to better than predicted next week.

[Peacetrain]

7. Well if we can move these uncommitted out here.. oh yeah.. much better

[MeNMyVolt]

13. I think the more people see MOM, the more they like him..

.. so the town hall is important. I just hate that 15% viability nonsense in IA. I think that hurts him.

[Peacetrain]

16. Hes an excellent candidate..no money for commericals or flyers though

Boy is this ever a peoples campaign.. door knocking.. even old Huckabee has commericals up.. ROFL.. the more people get a chance to hear him.. I mean they just really like his plans..

The caucus system is something we have had to live with since the 60's.. the thing is..no one.. and I mean no one.. not even President Obama is viable at every caucus.. so getting the people out there is hugely important.. and Kerry was at I think at 7 % at caucus time.. and he walked with it..

[MeNMyVolt]

18. That's a good point.

If I was at a particular caucus in which HRC wasn't viable, I'd march right over to the MOM group. I think most HRC supporters would do the same.

[Peacetrain]

20. And that is exactly what will happen on Caucus night

so I am listening to all three very carefully.. you never know when you might have to bait a different hook..

[MeNMyVolt]

14. Oh, and a REC for a nice, non-divisive OP.

[Peacetrain]

19. Thanks!!

[bigtree]

15. every day more Iowans are tuning in to this race

...and pleased to discover three excellent choices on the Democratic side.

[Peacetrain]

17. I am listening to all three tonight..

If we are not viable at our caucus I will have to pick another candidate.. At first I thought..poohey I will leave caucus.. but that is never going to happen.. I want my voice heard..
