I don't know what to do to catapult him on the national scene, but if/when Hillary crashes and burns (which I think she will) we need a strong candidate to take the lead.

Joe Biden doesn't want to run - he has said as much. The only reason that was mentioned was to send up a trial balloon in case Hillary is found ineligible/not electable.

I've made no bones about the fact that I am a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I honestly believe that O'Malley can get elected and he is a fantastic statesman.

So yeah, I'm on the "if it isn't Bernie, it better be O'Malley" train.
