Hey all. Just wanted to touch base.

Hope everybody's doing OK. The Democrats Abroad primary is next week and at this point I may record a "protest" vote for O'Malley since he's still on the ballot, but barring that I'll be voting for one of the others.

I've really missed the discussions in this board. Maybe we could re-activate some of them, just about issues and not about candidates?

Always thoughtful posts.

I was not an O'Malley supporter, but I like him a lot. It is too damned bad that he did not do better. I wish him the best. He is the type of candidate one cannot help liking.

Protest vote!

My protest in the Primary is - He's not in the running here - and since I still believe he was the best candidate -

I'm not voting for second best until the GE.

It was the proper thing for him to do, but I wanted a chance to vote for him.

I guess it will have to be none of the above this primary.

Maybe we can start reposting O'Malley's policy statements, as Recursion suggests, and bring some sanity to the political discussion on this forum.
