Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
Showing Original Post only (View all)So O'Malley shows up from nowhere. Why? [View all]
I have a simple theory, and when you hear it, you'll know why I didn't post it in GD.
My theory is this--the Beautiful People of Wall St. & elsewhere are getting really nervous about Hill's chances, especially after the latest email flap. Even though the incident in itself may amount to little, it is part of a growing burden of baggage. It won't take too much more to sink her under a backlash of negatives, whether deserved or not.
O'Malley seems, from the little I've seen so far, just as much a corporate shill as Hill ever was, and likely at least as acceptable to those Beautiful People. I sorta think the DLC Neocon types (whatever they're calling themselves at the moment) are hedging their bets and starting to groom Marty to take over if Hill takes the big stumble on her way to the gold ring.
