I still don't think he'll pass the 15% mark in most caucus locations but he seems to be getting more people than Hillary.

We all like the Sanders supporters who are not negative and actually put out useful information showing why we should vote for Bernie without trashing the other can dates. There is a difference you know.

Getting his message across to the voters and letting them see that he as actual plans to make this country work, and to fix the things that still need fixing.

I still think he is the right person for the nomination and will continue to support him.

He is a great candidate. I speak as one who was proud to have him as my governor for eight years.

All is good now at O'Malley's Ames event. He snapped a photo with woman who fainted, who appears okay now.

@MartinOMalley puts Torrent Brewing in Ames at capacity. A brewery employee first told me I couldn't come in.

...he should make some kind of mark in Iowa.

I think folks should pay attention to that mock caucus at Drake where he tied Sanders and defeated Hillary. That's not only where I think he should be in this race, but it points to visible and active organization for O'Malley at a center of 'millennial' political activity in Iowa.


Jake Bullington ‏@JakeBullington 12h12 hours ago
O'Malley caucus supporters are in huge numbers here at Drake's mock caucus.
