Worked on his public speaking. We need someone who can deliver a message. O'Malley is smart enough, no doubt has the looks, is pretty solidly in the progressive column.... He has issues speaking publicly and in debates. Messaging is huge.

O'Malley was my first choice last time. I think he was neck and neck with Chafee and Webb when it comes to delivery.

BTW, our next President needs to tap Webb for prison reform.

He has so many answers that it is overwhelming to people.. so he needs to just shorten up his main view points and keep hammering them home..

Kerry and O'Malley. Our problems won't be fixed by short phrases and these men possess depth. There is still the salesperson aspect that is very important.

I hope to have the chance to support O'Malley. Even if I don't vote for him you will not see me say one negative thing about him if he runs. I simply like him a lot. I think we need someone like him and from his history he seems to be a politician with little fear. He wants to make progress. That would be a breath of fresh air right now.

I would have liked to see Bernie and Hillary work together to mentor him and help him become a stronger campainer. I really like his soothing demeanor, but it doesn't translate well to the national stage.
