The business of our government is now the business of special interests. http://omly.us/campaign-finance-medium …

“This week marks the end of another campaign fundraising quarter,” O’Malley said in a statement. “I’m not naïve: campaign resources are important. But the staggering figures required to run for the highest office in the land aren’t as much a sign of muscle as they are an indication just how broken our democracy is.”

1. What he says is undeniably true.

And I think he is experiencing the consequences of that "broken democracy" firsthand.

2. I have no idea why this man is not being taken more seriously by Democrats who prefer policy

over rhetoric as much as the mass media prefers stirring up shit over news or debate.

The Democratic Party is blessed with an abundance of riches, all candidates, save that one RW one, are jewels compared to the lumps of coal on offer from the one other political merchant allowed to offer Presidents for hire in America's screwed up political process.
