Future depends on strength of our country.

RAISE MINIMUM WAGE to $15/hour. Overtime Pay, Expand Soc Sec/ Easy to join unions + collectively bargain-standing ovation.
Debt-free college.

Greener renewable energy future. 100% clean electric grid.

Comprehensive immigration reform.

Reinstitute Glass Steagall today. Break up big banks.

1. I'm listening, indeed. eom

[oasis]

2. Listing his accomplishments as mayor and governor. Impressive.

[bigdarryl]

4. He's got a stop and Fisk problem

[oasis]

5. Hard to say how much weight that'll have if he's on the Dem ticket 2016.

3. O'Malley is my second choice...

He has good content on progressive policies.

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. If one was prone to conspiracy thoughts ...

One would just know that O'Malley is the one feared by the establishment ... based on the complete lack of media coverage.

IMO, the O'Man has been talking the policy AND the plan .. . that is being completely ignored.

7. I'm not at all prone to conspiracy thoughts, Man,

but at LEAST judging from the presentations tonight one would HAVE to conclude that O'Malley is the one feared by the establishment, which includes hrc.

Let's see if he continues to be ignored after tonight. I sure as hell hope not.

8. he was excellent tonight

very energetic and inspiring speaker.

[elleng]

9. YES!

[askew]

10. I thought he won the night.

He spoke with passion about progressive policies. He talked about what he has achieved.

What I was most impressed by with O'Malley was how he spoke of hope and with optimism about our country while still talking about what needs to be done.

I felt bad for Chafee. I thought Sanders was a bit too angry. He's still my second choice but I would have preferred a more positive speech. Hillary Clinton talks about herself too much.

[bigdarryl]

11. A few years ago he was talking about how the democratic party

Needs to be more moderate

[bigtree]

13. check his record in office

...and, besides, that's not what he actually said.

I can't understand what motivates people to dish out crap like this.

[askew]

14. It's the standard response to any positive O'Malley press by some Sanders

supporters. I gave up even trying to write about O'Malley at DK because my diaries would just get derailed by this nonsense attack. It didn't matter what he did, because one time he wrote an OpEd with Harld Ford Jr. It just made them look stupid and it was a waste of time arguing about it.

Actions>Words.

[bigdarryl]

15. Regardless of his record I listen to urban radio and

African Americans from his state said as Mayor and Governor he had a policy like NY on stopping African Americans.So he's got problems with the African American community

[bigtree]

12. nothing but EXCELLENT reviews!

...I was at work and I missed the speeches. I'm getting ready to watch them now!

Working, missed the Iowa dinner - My guy, O'Malley, has outstanding reviews - can't wait to watch!
