Oh really?  Examples, please.

In a hypothetical Democratic primary:

Hillary Clinton or Martin O'Malley?

I am particularly interested in what Bo D has to say to that question.   ;D

I'm having a hard time embracing Hillary. I can't exactly say why - I just have a feeling.

Martin O'Malley presents some problems also. I really like the guy but he is practically unknown outside of Maryland. I will say that IMHO Maryland is a much better state now because of his governorship. You all know by now what a high priority I place on education and under O'Malley Maryland schools ranked the best in the country.

But we do have to pay for quality and some will accuse O'Malley of overtaxing.

You get what you pay for.

Besides, I liked his band - O'Malley's March.

That's for providing your take.  I was particularly interested in what someone from Maryland would say about him.

For the LOVE of God....PLEASE NO HILLARY.....We promise NOT to run a Bush, if you promise not to run a Clinton.  (Actually, in hindsight, Bill wasn't the worst)....

O'Malley seems interesting....How liberal is he?  I don't know much about him....he seems pretty sharp on what little I see of him.

I think he is a moderate. Another reason to like him!

  Well, I'm going to vote for Hillary, she the best Democrat we got.  And of all the Republican goons they got running, there is not one brain among them.  I say fill the clown bus and run it of a cliff.  I think American needs a woman to run the damn  place.  The men we have had sure have done a poor job.  Go, go Hillary.   :smitten: :biggrin:

And while Hillary has really not received any serious competition, Bernie Sanders entering the race should make certain she won't get dragged too far Right or forget the disenfranchised for corporate interests.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bernie-sanders-president-announcement-liberal-alternative-2016-democratic-primary/

Let's be real right out of the gate: Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is almost certainly not going to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016. Hillary Clinton is the most dominant non-incumbent front-runner in modern primary history. It would take a truly special candidate to defeat her, and Sanders, who officially announced he's running Thursday, is not the politician for the job.

Still, he is the type of candidate who can ensure that liberal interests are well-represented in the Democratic primary — and potentially in Clinton's campaign platform.

This is not a quote of what somebody else said; it's from my memory of an emotional moment:

I watch Morning Joe whenever  I can. Having said that I can only take so much of Joe, but when they have guests -- people in the news -- it gets very interesting (a little like the tone here on the Zone sometimes).

Yesterday was just Joe and Mika and a couple of guests I didn't recognize. I looked up from my newspaper when Mika mentioned a clip of Hillary Clinton talking to a crowd and proceeded to show it: Somebody said a little boy had a question for Mrs. Clinton, and she turned to him with the expression we all have for cute little children. After some ohs and ahs from the crowd, she asked him for his question, and he asked her what the most important things are. I'm sure he was prompted, but not by her people; she seemed to be caught off guard.  Then, after a brief hesitation, she said: "Love."

The crowd cheered.  That's where it stopped in the TV repeats. But, this time, on Morning Joe, they showed the rest of what the seemingly unflappable Hillary Clinton said  --  quietly, slowly, haltingly:

"I have loved and been loved, and all the rest is background music." 

As far as I'm concerned, any woman who has gone through what she has, and can still maintain her composure, think on her feet like that, should be our next president.

  The more questions that Hillary won't answer is making me lose interest in her.   :yes:  I am beginning to really like Bernie.   :salute:
