Hi everyone.
I'm here because of my DU pal JustAnotherGen.
I'm a democratic socialist and undecided. I was seriously considering Bernie but now I'm not sure he'll make it to the primary in my State (New Mexico). Still undecided and still considering Hillary as well. My eyes & ears are open and I'll seriously check out O'Malley too. I look forward to learning more about him here.
I recognize that we can't have all the things we want all from a President, especially if Congress has so many lousy republicans in it. I'm pragmatic and also optimistic about the great people I meet in the struggle of advancing the quality of life for everyone in this huge and often strange and hilarious country, and the world.
I don't think I've even seen an O'Malley speech or interview yet. I do recall him singing (I think it was The Pogues or some Irish music) and I thought that was awesome.

lovemydog, Please don't be afraid to go back to the beginning of all these threads (it's only 4 pages or so…. 
)
We aren't the most posted in group on DU, and that is fine — but we are, in my opinion, the most dedicated group to get our candidates accomplishments out there.
We have a few links here that will lead you to interviews and policy speeches. He's got a great band— I can personally attest to that.
He also has some great legislative experience.
Once again, WELCOME!
I will definitely check all that out. Especially the speeches & interviews. Thanks for the warm welcome. I've read through some threads here and appreciate the friendly tone of discourse. That means a lot to me.
