I'm sure using the term 'dark horse' to constantly describe Obama is just your way of using descriptive language and not disparaging in any way. You are right about that. Only a racist or race baiter would even think otherwise.

As a big Martin O'Malley fan, can you tell us how much campaign money he has raised thus far? Whoever runs on the democratic side will need a minimum of one billion dollars and has less than a year to raise it. So where does O'Malley stand on the fundraising?
