1. You betcha'

2. Wouldn't it be hilarious if he won, after all the beef

between the Clinton and Sanders camps?

3. that has to be a big part of his appeal right now

...for folks not already fully invested in the others.

8. I would be happy if MOM won. Happier if Sanders won, but MOM is a damn fine and electable candidate.

7. I would love to see that happen

He has far better plans to fix the problems we face, he put them in writing for all to see and examine, and it think he has done a pretty good job of doing things the "old fashioned" way of getting out and taking his message to the people who will be doing the voting, and going to the caucus's.

9. Your lips to God's ears

don't know how accurate this is. I matched with O'Malley as my candidate. I wasn't surprised, that's who I picked!

13. Wonder if an Iowa Surprise is in the making?

14. Very good showing

and of course colleges will be a big part of Bernie's strength in Iowa and O'Malley tieing him there is a good sign. Martin doesn't have to win Iowa--he can get a "win" if he exceeds expectations and gets even 15-20 percent statewide.

16. I would welcome a surge in MOM support.

I'm currently supporting Sanders, but I have been impressed with MOM the few times I've heard him speak. I might get shouted down on here for this, but I believe Sanders and O'Malley have the most progressive ideas in the pack. I want to hear a progressive agenda, not business as usual.

People are hurting out there, and it's beyond the time to change.

It IS my humble opinion that MOM has some baggage that might not fly in some places, that voters here in Iowa are willing to overlook. I think some time is going to have to pass on that.
