    What's the rationale for Martin O'Malley's continued campaign?

    In a 15 person field, you could see why low polling Republicans might not want to drop out. But O'Malley?

    Normally, a guy like him would be drummed out of the race. He'd be under constant pressure to justify his continued presence. We've already seen this in the Republican race, including in the form of questions from debate moderators.

    I'm not even sure how he qualifies to be included in Dem debates.

    The only reason I can see for why he continues to run, and why he hasn't been hounded out, is because of the fear of criminality in Hillary's use/misuse of her emails.

    Bernie sure ins't an alternative. O'Malley is the emergency plan.

    Well, either that, or she gets hit by a bus or something, so don't get too excited. She's 68 years old. There needs to be some emergency plan.

    Hillary's 68! Holy shit! She's old.

    Has anyone told Dem voters how old she is:

    Quick, how old is Hillary Clinton? Hopefully, you’re one of the 57 percent of Americans who are aware that Clinton is in her sixties (67 to be exact). According to a new Pew Research poll, 18-to-29 year olds have no idea how old Clinton is.

    Sixteen percent of 18-to-29 year olds think Clinton is younger than 50. The majority, 53 percent, think Clinton is in her fifties. But only 27 percent were able to correctly say Clinton is in her sixties, with only 2 percent thinking she is older than seventy. By comparison, large majorities of 30-49 year olds (58 percent); 50-64 year olds (72 percent); and 65+ year olds (70 percent) know she is in her sixties.

    Most embarrassingly, 16 percent of millennials think Clinton is in her forties. “Put another way,” Pew notes, “16 percent of millennials believe that, when Hillary Clinton became first lady in 1993, she was no older than 28.”

    The vast majority of voters underestimate Clinton’s age. Eighty-three percent of respondents gave an answer that was less than 67, and only 2 percent got her age correct.

    It's the New York Times' fault.

    Veep. Though one would think Hillary could do better than the guy who governed the worst state in the union.

    The best is when the media protest how much media attention he gets.
