1. Thanks.

2. Can't wait.

It will be nice to see the contrast between the 3 candidates though I am frustrated that Hillary gets the last slot today since O'Malley was the original keynote address.

I think this and education are O'Malley's strongest issues so I expect a great speech from him here.

3. Yes and a very interesting day,

may be too much detail for many, 3 @ la raza + hrc in nyc earlier.

4. I finally got to watch the entire speech.

It was a blockbuster, and I was especially touched by his account of the eighteen-year-old boy who hugged him. This boy was a refugee from Guatemala who found hope and protection in Maryland, due to O'Malley's principled intervention.

To my mind, there is no better candidate for immigration and Latinos than O'Malley.

5. YES, NO BETTER candidate,

KNOWS what he's doing!

6. Yeah, that was touching.

You can tell this issue touches him personally. He always talks about it so emotionally. Love it.
