5. O'Malley just can't get any coverage.

Liberal media is going ga-ga over Hillary's shift to the left and Sanders surge. Even when O'Malley is the first one out the gate with a proposal, they cover Hillary echoing his points instead of O'Malley.

He's the only one to rollout a tough climate change platform and the media just shrugs.

Incredibly frustrating. I think he is going to have to start airing ads early in Iowa, NH, NV and SC to bump up his name recognition.

I am a little frustrated that he is not spending more time in the 4 early states though. By this time, Obama, Edwards, and Richardson were practically living in those states. Since O'Malley doesn't have a day job, I don't know what he's doing.

I don't believe any poll at this point and certainly can't believe Webb being ahead of O'Malley. n/t FSogol Jun 2015 #9

I didn't think Webb would run, but if you check the number of events he has scheduled FSogol Jun 2015 #8

HE got a few phone calls from me that is for sure. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #11
