Lone attendee from O'Malley event makes up his mind

[ProudToBeLiberal]

The only person who attended a late December campaign event for Martin O'Malley hampered by Iowa's harsh winter weather has decided to caucus for him.

But Hillary Clinton is his second choice and likely the candidate he will eventually end up supporting in the caucus, he admitted.

In a telephone interview, Kennan Seda, 57, told POLITICO that he had decided to support O'Malley because he was "very pleased with just his general demeanor," noting that the former Maryland governor called him the next day and that he had essentially made up his mind at that time.

"It was a very kind of heartfelt conversation, and once you kind of get him off the political shtick, he was much more down to Earth," Seda said of his in-person meeting with O'Malley in Tama, Iowa, on Dec. 28.

I give props to Martin O'Malley for not canceling the event in the middle of the snowstorm. Glad to see he is rewarded with the lone attendees vote.
