4. I have not a thing against Bernine Sanders policies.. I happen to like them quite a bit

Hes a good man.. He is not a Democrat..And why am I so stuck on that? Because once the primaries and caucuses are over, and we start setting up offices.. it is people like me..who do the grunt work to get someone elected. And having that party behind us to help with lists, for calling.. and starting to set up coffees and candidates who will run down ticket..it is HUGE.. I can't tell you the number of times I have donated old folding chairs for the office.. cleaned off my own desk to bring in materials to get the office set up for what ever candidate we have running.. I do not know how it is in other states..but so a lot of donating in my state just to get the office set up

Gov. O'Malley and Senator Sanders are both in my wheel house philosophically.. I have been down the road a number of times watching candidates who are running as Indys or their own party go down in flames eventually because they just do not have this group of volunteers behind them.

I will vote for the Democratic nominee.. I had no inclinations to work this campaign.. I am getting older and time for the 40 somethings to step up.. but I will be honest with you.. if Gov. O'Malley does announce.. I will get back on the horse and walk the neighborhoods, and put up sign and call the lists..
