Hopefully he will. He's not my second choice, as well. Hillary is so canned and mechanical that she almost creaks.

Not a word from Bernie about Hillary's Iraq War vote. He missed it...he should have reminded the audience.

13. The O'Malley Supporters at Pre-Primary Caucus Here

voted in Bernie's caucus here in my hometown since O'Malley didn't make the ballot in Ohio. We even had a local mayor who was a O'Malley supporter who voted with the Bernie caucus. I too would back O'Malley over Clinton if Bernie wasn't in the race.

If he decides to endorse Hillary, I will have to take a second look at the things he has said and wonder if he was simply trying to split the liberal vote.

If something terrible happens to Bernie's campaign I will switch over in a heartbeat. I hope he gets a cabinet position.
