They clearly are trying to hurt her with this.<br /><br />The thing about name recognition is that once you win a primary, you get it. And if you become the nominee, then name recognition isn't a problem. So all you really need to do is to start winning primaries. And in that, O'Malley only needs the left and some moderates.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-38153442618677087152015-03-09T15:30:02.856-04:002015-03-09T15:30:02.856-04:00Bev, That could well be.

Even as an outside observer with no more information than what I see in the papers, it's obvious to me that their fundraising efforts have been corrupt.

But a lot can change in a few years. <br /><br />It would be high irony if this O'Malley guy swoops in to take the Dem nod from the anointed candidate the same way Bill did, way back when. That said, he's got his work cut out for him on name recognition. It took awhile for it to ring any bells for me...imagine what it's like for the folks paying only average attention to events. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-36950969542894703842015-03-09T12:31:13.914-04:002015-03-09T12:31:13.914-04:00First of all "Finally!!".

She did that when "deciding" whether to run for Senate, whether to be Sec't of State, and now with the endless announcements that she will be announcing about when she will finally announce something or not.<br /><br />It's interesting because the email issue is bad enough. It is a blatant violation of federal law no matter how they want to spin it. The law was enacted in 2009, so there is really no way to logically spin it to say Bush and Colin Powell had personal email too! Because neither were not subject to this specific law and the law was specifically put in place to stop personal emails.<br /><br />But what I really think is that this whole thing is making ChelsBillary very, very nervous since I believe that the Committee Who Investigates These Things is really looking for a trail of email dates that can be matched with foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation of Really Good Lucrative Works. That is going to be THE money scandal that puts people in jail. Then all that stuff about allowing Hillary's State Dept. personnel split time "consulting" for private industry into focus too...<br /><br />However, I hope she weathers all of this because maybe Republicans can run a cauliflower and win this time around.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-74138334596587131642015-03-09T12:27:42.256-04:002015-03-09T12:27:42.256-04:00All of the people who bought "Ready for Hilar...All of the people who bought "Ready for Hilary" bumper stickers are probably crying in their cornflakes about now...<br /><br />Personally, I hope she runs.

They skewered Hillary as a devious ladder climber accusing her of trying to eliminate Obama. That was one of the first clues. The young, who tend to vote democrat, can't stand her. Her primary support is from the unions. It will be very interesting to watch as while the unions are better organized the youth have more energy and chutzpa.

On paper O'Malley is a strong contender (liberal and scandal free, even though he is awfully fond of taxes), but as a Marylander I think O'Malley is a bit too vanilla personality-wise to go anywhere.<br /><br />No matter how the Democratic nominee is, I think if Republicans avoid stupid attacks (something they did a great job of in 2014) and stay unified, they can win 2016.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-38822316232900357442015-03-08T23:42:45.018-04:002015-03-08T23:42:45.018-04:00"What a relatable laugh.""What a relatable laugh."Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453591141757808708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-87415499138518585122015-03-08T23:18:14.056-04:002015-03-08T23:18:14.056-04:00By the way, to those who have not seen it, here is...By the way, to those who have not seen it, here is a link to the sketch at Youtube.<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK2Mvd-nH9o" rel="nofollow">LINK</a>Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453591141757808708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-37841783395928309952015-03-08T23:06:17.619-04:002015-03-08T23:06:17.619-04:00Kit, I like that too.
