One person shows up to O'Malley event in Iowa, remains uncommitted

Amid a vicious winter storm on Monday that forced some presidential campaigns to cancel their scheduled stops in Iowa, only Martin O'Malley decided to press on.

And one man at his last event, the only person to show up, in fact, "was glad to see me," the former Maryland governor said. But he still would not commit to caucus for O'Malley.

"The very last event of the night, we actually had a whopping total of one person show up, but by God, he was glad to see me. So we spent the time with him," the Democratic presidential candidate told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday, speaking from Des Moines.

A tweet shared by an ABC News reporter showed a bearded man, identified only as Kenneth, sitting at a table with O'Malley, who told MSNBC that he was "working on him," but also said people in Iowa "want to see the whole campaign play out" before deciding on a candidate.

If O'Malley wanted to win this guy's commitment, perhaps he should have served some barbecue and tater salad.

LOL — I love that headline. You can not make this stuff up.

[SaxxonWoods]

The good news is, the guy didn’t hate him and commit to someone else.

So, O’Malley’s got that going for him.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And I hear that it was his wife . . . .

Maybe O’Malley and Jeb could get their actual supporters together.

Throw in a couple of staffers and they might have enough for a game of Euchre

[Theodore R.]

The guy’s probably a self-anointed spy for Mrs. Bill.

So, I would say low voter turn out all across the nations for Democrats.

O’Malley is running as a beard.

DNC does not want the Hillary coronation too obvious.

OTOH, if this guy would just get on the bandwagon, he could be Vice President or Secretary of State.

He showed up for the sandwiches, then found out there was avocado in it and left, can’t say I blame him, avocado, YUCK

[Jan_Sobieski]

He should have taken off his shirt, he may have attracted a few homos...

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

You gotta give O’Malley some credit though. He did show up. All other political events were cancelled due to the humongus storm.

[angcat]

He should have called Cindy Sheehan for some help.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It is difficult to be the shirtless wonder during winter months.

[WMarshal]

Apparently his abs are not fantastic enough to pull in women and gays. Maybe he should try a beard like Paul Ryan.

[uglybiker]

That puts him right up there with Linda Graham!

[immadashell]

His poll numbers must be improving.

[aquila48]

How many are showing up at Trump’s rally in Council Bluffs?
