The fact is, she is the dominant figure in the party right now. With her credentials, the policy chops … and O’Malley is totally untested on the national stage, the only way he stands a prayer is if she self-destructs.

Right now, he's trapped between Joe Biden historical support for the unions on issues of energy and the left wing of Joe Biden party on environmental issues who are pushing for a Green New Deal, and Joe Biden's needs them both.

We’re living longer and we are healthier and we have better health care, health itself can be an issue, but it should n’t be related to age in a way that suggests it would impair your ability to be president.

I don't see them moving immediately.

Hillary is not known for debates, she does much better in small groups, she does not do well in big arenas, she is not compelling. Right now she is pursuing the front-runner strategy, in that she can be hurt more by a primary process that gets combative in debates. So she speaks more to selective audiences.

Let’s be honest we don’t know whether( the debate schedule) has anything to do with Clinton stumbling and her current problems in the polls, the other problem in these debates is they can become a referendum on Obama.

Look at it from their point of view – they’re struggling for name recognition and identity with the voters. Meanwhile the party is going to say enough – we don’t want the bloodletting.

Despite the controversy, if you take a look at the polls, she still has remarkably high favorables among Democratic voters, i think honestly, the best [O’Malley] can do is not so much tout his own record as governor, but point out the shortcomings of Hillary and hope that sticks.
