Iowans like Martin O'Malley, even if they're not voting for him.

1. Since not many people visit this group I thought I'd stop in and say hi elleng.

Realistically I think we understand Martin won't get the nomination. It's not really his fault either since by all accounts he seems like a good candidate with good ideas. I like his somewhat far left stance and that's not normal in our party today. In any other election he'd likely do very well and I know the Berners would be supporters. At least I would. As it is though, he came up against someone who's was anointed, and another who's a political juggernaut. He had no chance at all. Not many people would, even against Clinton, but when you couple in the Democratic Socialist it was near impossible for Martin.

He seems to get it though and should Sanders win the nom I could see Martin as his VP choice. Unless Liz Warren wants it why not Martin O'Malley. He has the right goals and ideas to be a great VP to groom for the eventual Presidency. We'll need someone to carry Sanders' legacy and vision forward and from what I've heard from Martin he's better than most. Maybe all (except Liz).

Anyway, mainly wanted to say hello but thought I'd share my thought with you while I was here. Take care elleng.
