got to do with who you support? Do you/should you/should I/should ANYONE 'support' someone because it may appear that OTHERS support them/him/her? It makes NO SENSE to me to approach this in that way.

I support Martin O'Malley because he has the BEST platform of any of the Democratic candidates, has set it out specifically, has EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE, and knows how to get his programs through governmental bodies. I do NOT support him because of whomever else might support him.

This is not a horse race, I'm not putting money on Secretariat because I'll be paid back when he wins, I'm supporting Martin O'Malley because I WANT HIM TO WIN!

I WISH others would look at what's going on now, pre-primary-wise, with CLEAR LENSES.
