Martin O'Malley
Related: About this forumLooks like MO'Mentum is picking up in Iowa.
Martin O'Malley now has about 1 Iowa supporter to 3 for Bernie and 8 for Hillary. That is way better than before the debate and IDPJJ, when the polls said both Bernie and Hillary had about 40 supporters to every 1 of Martin's. Great news to start the week, but not surprising to Team O'Malley!

(42,649 posts)all three talk about actual issues and all three have specific proposals for dealing with the issues.
Contrast that with the GOP field that complains when they are asked for specifics when they are at the "debate". Very sad that there is only one major party where the candidates are expected to speak to the issues and the other party speaks in slogans.
I like O'Malley's positions on many issues, but in any contest where money plays such a huge factor, personal involvement must play a huge part for O'Malley supporters. Paul Wellstone showed how it can be done, at least on a state level.
Plus so many US voters have such minimal knowledge and enthusiasm for politics.

(1,464 posts)I think Bernie has stalled out. Hillary's #s will come back down to reality soon. She isn't going to continue to get this kind of positive news coverages and she is going to have to get through another debate and a forum this month.
On twitter, the reporter for Des Moines Register said he talked with former Obama and Bill Clinton advisors and they think O'Malley has real momentum in Iowa.
That added to the fact that O'Malley just got endorsed by popular ex-Mayor of Las Vegas - Oscar Goodman, he is building momentum.
O'Malley just got endorsed by popular ex-Mayor of Las Vegas - Oscar Goodman!!! LOVE IT! REALLY!
AND former Obama and Bill Clinton advisors and they think O'Malley has real momentum in Iowa. !!!
