So, acc to this, Mr O'Malley is just putting on a show for us Liberals~

59. A (personal, I suspect) problem I have now is that I no longer care who is supporting this or

that politician. I do really like - and need - to read what various people list as good qualifications, though. I think I have been made irreversibly cynical by the "Warren signed a letter, so you should want Hillary to be president because Warren says so" stuff, as if we were delegates at a convention, to be mindlessly traded.

So far, it looks like I am going to be, at best, underwhelmed and disappointed by whoever the Big Money settles on as candidate, and will be sitting out the "enthusiastic campaign" stuff. I believe that the Banks Have Spoken. Also believe Citizens United is not going anywhere at all, because both parties are bathing in that money like it is a champagne bubble bath.

O'Malley does seem better than Hillary, on paper. His being VP candidate will not make me any more of a Hillary fan than I am now, though, and yeah, we may just be getting set up, someone sounding like a Progressive for campaign purposes, but looking at an administration stocked with Larry Summers clones and seeing Kissinger doddering about, muttering about useless eaters and the need to have a much smaller population (old UN stuff, easily googled) as he swills down at state dinners.
