you raise really good points and it does speak to a larger problem.

They want a food fight because food fights are click bait.

Reasoned, passionate progressive policies that aren't shouted out do not.

People were counting O'MAlley out before he got in the race, and before he stated his white papers on policies — like criminal reform, Immigration reform and climate change— these are all huge important policies and really do make him stand out — the problem is, the media has planted their flags in certain camps. I am of the opinion that some have planted those flags a little too soon.

I am befuddled by it myself, and I do get aggravated and then I take a deep breath, remind myself that it's still earl


Keep calm and O'M on….
