Seen this lengthy discussion, done in Chicago in January:

running with the "not a crown to be passed between 2 families" quip.

Snuffleupagus Stephanopoulos tries to get him to bash HRC a few times and he always turns it back to his executive successes. A good segment despite George's attempts at gotcha-ism.

We'll wait and see how/if things change, after he announces.

He clearly is a person/candidate/public servant of substance. We'll see if MSM can deal with it. I'll holler at them, for sure, if they don't treat him decently. Reminds me of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Michael Dukakis. (I HOPE not!)

a breath of fresh air from the usual crap some say.

Because it has everything to do with the issues.

At least a couple of our party big-wigs are speaking to the old-school Dems. At this point, looking around DU, though, too many are too in love with corpodems for a populist movement to make much of a dent.

but would like to hear about the couple of our party big-wigs about whom you refer, Doctor_J.

face at this point. At the 2012 Dem. Convention he commented to a reporter about his attendance saying he said was glad to be there and he was just looking into things. That event was first time I'd considered him on a national level apart from his governing of MD which is being explored here. So far I like what he's said, makes things interesting.

hours and make more sacrifices. And one day you too can be a multimillionaire and have your own personal presidential candidate to represent you.

It was pretty damn good. He has my support for President and not just because I'm a Murrlynder......

I've MORE than survived.

Where are you located?

Even back when I had a TV, I never watched the Sabbath Gasbags, as Calvin Trillin has called them. So I do appreciate someone posting something from them worth watching.

would be on. Glad I watched.

Happy it was posted. I DO have Trillin's Travels with Alice on my coffee table!

and he is the sweetest man.

He sounds like a very sweet man!

When I need a pick me up, I often return to Travels with Alice!

The republicans are just too extreme. The next democratic president can't accept any of their arguments and try to bring the rest of the party along just to get something done. They need to take a page from Obama's book and fight them and go around them. They aren't serious about governing and should be best ignored.

But not all of us hold Bill and Hilary in such contempt as apparently he does.

crickets....

If you watch the entire clip, O'Malley went to great lengths to avoid bashing any of our Democratic candidates despite constant prompting to do so.
