and a way to raise his name recognition. He really needs to have raised enough money to air some feel good ads in NH and IA that explain his resume and his policies.

O'M is another Democratic Party great candidate I could vote for President in the general, denied any media oxygen because he talks issues, not shit. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #8
