4. Oh the media is going to have a field day with this. From CBS news:

The title in particular. Like no politician EVER challenged another politician. Mentioning O'Malley's youthfulness should not (at least my my reality) be construed as ageist.

So, having said that — I personally do not have a problem with people going after the younger vote.
"We don't necessarily think Hillary Clinton will have trouble appealing to younger voters, but we do think that Martin O'Malley appeals best to younger voters," Generation Forward communications director Ron Boehmer told CBS News. He cited O'Malley's "policies, his record in Maryland - everything from supporting same sex marriage early on to holding down the cost of college tuition."

"Millenials today are looking for new leadership and new opportunities to grow," Boehmer added. "They're one of the largest voting blocs in this country, and they're very underrepresented. We believe that a new type of leadership is needed to speak to millennials and act on their behalf."


As much as I hate it, we live in a post Citizens Untied world. PAC's happen and until we can elect a majority again, they will continue to happen.

Just to be ahead of things, this is Damien O'Doherty
