I cannot wait for O'Malley to publicly, at length, call out DWS for her corruption, on national TV

He's already shown he has no problem calling out injustice directly and personally, as opposed to Sanders' more old-fashioned chivalry. In the first debate, he called her out directly.

And Debbie won't be able to pull the plug on him, nor will the anchors. They can press buzzers and try to get him to answer "follow-up" questions on the "subject," but they can't black out his comments.

She should have timed this to occur right after the debate to take any wind out of Bernie's post-debate sails and to keep a public mainstream media type discussion from happening where she couldn't completely control the narrative.

Because of her incompetence (for which I guess I'm now grateful), she timed this BS to occur BEFORE the debate. Sanders will have to say very little. O'Malley can lay out the corruption of the DNC point by point and DWS will probably be hissed at and booed.

I've met her a few times and have had personal experience with how she operates, and wish I could say she'd be really embarrassed. She won't be ashamed. But, she will be spitting furious, because she will have to take someone calling out her petty corruption and incompetence in front of 10 million people without being able to interrupt him.

Governor O'Malley, I put my faith in you.

How O'Malley handles this situation that has nothing to do with him will be a big factor in tomorrow nights debate.

Side with Bernie?

or

Side with DNC?

my bets on siding with Bernie, he's been that way for a while now.
