I liked Martin O'Malley in the Rachel interviews.

I'm a Canadian so "just watching", so don't mind me.
At first I thought he was wooden, his eyes too fixed on Maddow's.
But under Rachel's sharp questioning he opened up and showed a very human side, a caring side which matched his accomplishments, which are many. A fact that when he left office, the office didn't do as well, isn't to be blamed on him. Else it'd be a crazy world.

Now I'm going to listen to Bernie Sanders

And a 40-something woman watching it with me really liked him. She doesn't like Hillary and thinks Bernie is too old, so O'Malley struck a chord with her.

I support Bernie, but O'Malley would be my second choice now. He's a decent man.

It was a good first impression for me. We could all benefit from more of his platform discussion.

I still like Bernie but I'm leaning more towards O'Malley. He was articulate, he has good screen presence & in this digital age, that is important. But I liked his ideas & how he presented them. And his record, since I've been reading more about him.

I'm more & more pissed at the media. One pundit said that HRC has sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Well, yeah, & a lot of it is your doing, you morans! She's all you talk about. Oh & the clusterfuck on the right. The media is such a big part of our problem.

They are annoyed that they even have to cover O'Malley or Sanders.
