You're amazing.

4. His senior year of HS suggestion intrigues me.

Both of my sons had study halls up the wazoo, as did I in my day. It was slacker year--could be better spent on professional or college prep or vo/tech.

5. Thank you for posting that!

Great stuff!

8. I still think he's running for Vice President the question is would Hillary or Bernie pick him

It really doesn't matter in a general election people don't vote for Vice President.If Bernie gets the win he would be smart to pick him because lets be frank his age 75 he's up there.And would be one of the oldest person's elected President

9. I don't need his critics to tell us what O'Malley intends - I listen to the candidate

Jul 23, 2015

"What do you say to those who believe you are really running here because you are hoping to get vice president or a presidential appointment? Can you set the record straight?" WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins asked O'Malley.

"I'm running for president of the United States and not any other office," O'Malley said.

http://www.wbaltv.com/politics/martin-omalley-unveils-plans-to-reform-wall-street/34321764

He's not rolling out comprehensive plan after plan to play second-fiddle to one of his rivals. Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

[elleng]

12. Right, people don't vote for vice president,

and Martin O'Malley's no fool. He's running for PRESIDENT.

[FSogol]

13. People think NASA faked the moon landing too. We don't lend them much credibility

either.

14. K & R

Without a doubt, he appears to me to be the hardest-working candidate. I think he will try to visit almost every or every county in Iowa.

[elleng]

16. I think that's his intention, Koinos.

17. Good post! nt
