...another large group of young millennials (presumably white collar) looking to politically network their ambitions in this campaign. Very motivated crowd.

that is interesting. i can so see him getting this crowd. they are over the rebel, laying down family and career. and more intuned with a man a couple decades younger. interesting

...very likely to vote and motivated by the very issues O'Malley is running on to either buttress their own careers, provide more opportunities, or provide support for their new families.

this group would favor omalley over sanders and a huge part of the would be they are beginning and they NEED a can do, they also NEED the social end, especially the women in the crowd.

the upper middle income over 50 crowd? $ and trickle down on social justice. hence sanders.

glad to see om getting some attention, but the idea that sanders is only of interest to the volvo driving middle class older whites is completely inaccurate.

of course, some debates would help them both to get more attention...

too bad it won't happen anytime soon.

nonetheless, clinton still is highest in all the demographics of the democratic base. neither here nor there, just a reply to one of your posts.

Is that his son?
I've seen photos of O'Malley around the country and one son is traveling with him.
Where's the other boy? Maybe school, work, married?

...dunno about the others, but his daughter, Grace, is also out campaigning for him - most recently the two campaigned independently in NH.
