Um, they brought up the congressional bank scandal for @RickSantorum intro?

INBOX: Statement from O'Malley "Following GOP Voter's First Forum...Tonight we heard a lot of denial." (#VotersFirst isn't over yet.)

“Lebron’s going to be moderating it, I understand,” John Kasich says of the debate in Cleveland. Would make things…interesting.

John Kasich diagnoses of GOP problem: sometimes people don't think we get them. Party needs to be compassionately conservative?

This statement is from "O'Malley for NH."

At least three of the current and former governors come from the "bluest state" in the country. Is that possible? #VotersFirst
