1) What do they have in common? Party affiliation. Other than that...nothing. Well, Hillary and O'Malley both have the strong detestability factor going for them.

2) Why do they think they will get the minority votes? Well, for one thing, the Democratic candidates actually address the issues of minorities instead of just saying, "Democrats are bad for minorities!" They show more sensitivity to issues that bother minorities, too. Like, for example, the Black Lives Matter movement. Instead of parroting the asinine "All Lives Matter" line, they use "Black Lives Matter." They pander to minorities just like the GOP does, but they still address the issues. Kind of like why youth voters favor the 75 year old in the race over any other candidate, it's because Bernie Sanders' main focus is on issues that directly affect young people today and he offers solutions to those issues. Unlike the GOP candidates, who primarily focus on foreign policy issues and issues that primarily affect the elderly.

All I knew was that he was the governor of Maryland. Ravens Fan can't say anything good about the guy, so I took his word for it.

Oh! I thin I do remember something about him now. Ravens Fan was that a tight governor's race? I seem to remember it being closely watched.

He is the guy with a 3% poll rating going into the caucus, lol. He is also the guy who no one can remember his name.

Both are good things.

I appreciate that, but I would not discourage anybody doing their own research into him. Given a choice between him and Hillary, I would pick Hillary, and I have not been shy on how I feel about her.

It was thought to be a tight race, with O'Malley's Lieutenant Governor running basically as Marty Jr. But Hogan swept even strong Democrat areas, with bi-partisan support. It was both a huge victory for Hogan and a strong F.U. to O'Malley and his gang.

And yes, I am a bit biased on that one, based on living with his stupidity.

Eh, it's okay. I tend to only use my time investigating candidates that actually have a reasonable shot in hell of winning :tongue:
