I'm positive he is. Not that long ago, he said he regretted not getting in the race.

Problem is, it's getting later by the day. I'm not that savvy on election laws, but I think the deadline for ballot inclusion has passed in many states.

I think Martin O'Malley may be the only D alternative to Bernie down the road. I think that's why he's still hanging around.

Agree too late for Joe to be on the primary ballots.
He’d have to be the beneficiary of some type behind the scenes cabal at the Dem convention.

I wonder who is providing funds for O’Malley - the big donors?

[N. Theknow]

Wonder who packs in a bigger crowd at his rallies, O’Malley or Jeb?

I'm thinking the same thing. It's late in the process for any new candidates and if Bernie wins either Iowa or NH the democrats are going to wig out. They absolutely can't run an old, rumpled, doctrinaire socialist for President. It will be McGovern-Nixon all over again. They won't let that happen. Hillary is very, very damaged and is vulnerable on many sides. O'Malley might be their only hope.
