Often, those who dropped out along the way still have a campaign debt as of the convention. Sometimes the nominee helps retire defeated rivals' debts in the interest of party unity. Sometimes the debt lingers on even after the general election. O'Malley retired his debt before the convention and with no help from the eventual nominee. Well done!

I'm intrigued by the closing: "Look forward to seeing you soon" DavidDvorkin Jun 2016 #1

I suspect that O'Malley knew he would lose to HRC and that his 2016 was a test run. FSogol Jun 2016 #2
