Who Can Win

When I look at the current state of affairs I am reminded that if we are to win we must have a candidate who has broad general appeal and supports the goals of Democrats and Independents. I believe that Martin O'Malley is that candidate.

Look at this link and ask yourself where were we then, where are we now and where are we going. Then ask what candidate can get us there?

Some may call me naïve but I believe Martin O'Malley offers our best alternative to win and govern. I heard Truman on the radio, saw Ike on my classroom wall, lived in the era of Camelot, and endured Nixon, Reagan, and Bushes.

We will accomplish nothing if we do not put forward a candidate who can win in the general election.

Flame away. I got asbestos underwear and comfortable shoes.

You aren't going to get flamed here.

This is a group, and we support MO'M.

Advocating for our candidate is what we do here in this group.
