at first I looked at omalley as an imitator but after seeing how he confronted the DNC directly about the debates in their own house, I wouldn't mind if O'Malley joined Bernie.

Debbie DINO can always change her mind about putting him on the ballot, or encourage states to leave him off the ballot because he is not registered as a Democrat. I would hate to see him knocked out of the running because he joins O'Malley in any direct going around the "official rules".

I do not see O'Malley as being like Bernie - O'Malley is a Third Wayer to me. That's just the way it is, for me, not goona argue about it. He is not a substitute for Bernie.
