IMO, call me crazy, but I would choose O'malley because he is the least extreme of the 3 democratic candidates. The other two would be "firsts" , Hillary a woman president, Bernie a jeeish president.
From what I'm aware, there seem to be two types of democrats. First the "old fashioned" ones. They seem to support the death penalty, the second amendment, sometimes have interventionist foreign policies, and are often religious. Examples include Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and authors Stephen King and John Grisham. Now the "new generation" ones, The "new generation" democrats want to do away with the death penalty completely, want to tighten gun control, always have a "it's their problem, not ours" foreign policy, and are atheist/agnostic 40-45% of the time. Most of the people on this forum, and Bernie sanders fall into this category. Bernie is jewish but he says he is "not particularly religous"
On the flipside, why arent will dealing with the drug chaos down in Mexico?
