you did not say.

I totally respect Senator Sanders. There are very few (if anything) things I disagree with him on. HE and Governor O'malley are VERY close on many many issues.

For me, the big difference (and I said it in another thread here in the group) is that O'Malley has gotten many of the things he cared about passed into law. That is not a slam on Sanders at all. It's not for his lack of trying. He's had an uphill battle for quite sometime, there is no question about that.

I know where Sanders stands. I know where all three of our candidates stand.

I have seen more executive action (albeit from a state level) From O'MAlley than I have from the Clinton or Sanders when they were/are in the senate.

As much as I know so many people want a firebrand, and I include myself as one of them, we need people that can get legislation put into law.

O'Malley is a progressive Democrat in my opinion. He has made a lot of inroads in Maryland to making progressive laws into reality.

Also, the fact that the Repubs like to call him a tax and spend liberal? That pleases me to no end.
