Only thing I can suggest is 'faulty' poll, esp if Webb's so close to him.

It's a real shame. I think he is going to need to start airing ads or his PAC is going to have to. My worry is the PAC will air negatives ads which won't help O'Malley at all.

I think he's great!

I think people are craving something different, sort of the unabashed, honest attack dog which kind of explains Bernie and Trumps surge.. Those who don't like that are going with the establishment picks of Clinton or Jeb etc. So O malley is sort of stuck between establishment and outsider meaning he doesn't really have a natural footing or base.

Good candidate on paper, except there doesn't seem to be a path. We seem the same thing with Rubio on the Republican side.

nationally or not. THEN his 'oomph' shines through.

But just not as much as Bernie I suppose. I think if Bernie was not in the race he would be doing better.

Didn't mean to be a Debbie downer! I like O'Malley much more than Clinton!

we like intelligent conversations; give us ideas for promotion.

and a way to raise his name recognition. He really needs to have raised enough money to air some feel good ads in NH and IA that explain his resume and his policies. He just isn't getting any media attention and it is hurting him immensely. He's the only candidate who hasn't held federal office so his name recognition outside of Maryland is non-existent.

In the silly season the same media denies is not silly at all...of course they do...silly is what sells to the summer-time crowd.

So why should it discourage us?

Polls don't drive him; principles do.

That is what makes O'Malley who he is.

Day. America is still enjoying its summer, getting the kids ready for back to school, and goofing on Trump and the GOP. When the leaves start to turn, they'll pay attention to the election.

Who was leading at this point in 2007? Herman Cain and John Edwards.

As MO'M says, "History is full of times when the inevitable frontrunner is inevitable right up until he or she is no longer inevitable."

I just wish the DNC hadn't locked O'Malley's starting gate by limiting debates.

I think that (not sure why) they are more afraid of O'Malley than they are of Sanders.

O'Malley is confident for a reason. He knows how this game is being played.

I just hope he has enough funding to make it to the first debate.

He needs more nationwide attention.
