Without the maneuvering using O'Malley, Hillary would have lost AZ Progressive Feb 2016 #3
She won't be able to do that again. I wonder how O'Malley feels about being used? notadmblnd Feb 2016 #29

Yes, going from a 30 point lead to a 2/10ths of a percentage point finish is quite a "win" Ned_Devine Feb 2016 #27
