Until he started deliberately misrepresenting Bernie, at which point he became just another lying politician and persona non grata. There were ways to legitimately differentiate himself from Bernie and to maintain civility while doing so, but he chose instead to malign, misrepresent, and simply lie. So no, he's not my second choice any more. Or any of my choices. Indeed, about the best way for Bernie to lose my vote in the general would be to pick O'Malley as his VP.
