Weigel on Webb and O'Malley: Single-digit Democrats thrive in a shrinking Hillary shadow

quote:

"Hey, robot man!" said Martin O'Malley. "Will you caucus for me?"

The former Democratic governor of Maryland was addressing an educational "robot" wearing a tie-dyed shirt, standing at an intersection of the Iowa State Fairgrounds -- a cybernetic organism much sturdier than the late hitchBot. Just moments earlier, O'Malley had tobogganed down a slide with his son, William, and daughter, Grace, and the camera crews around him were ready for more kitsch.

"What kind of technology experience do you have?" said the piped-in voice of the robot.

"I have lots of technology experience," said O'Malley. "Mostly on the campaigns."

The robot was silent. His electronic display did not move. His voice actor seemed as confused as passersby, who had been stage-whispering questions like "who is that?" and "is he famous?" as O'Malley worked the fair.

...

But Webb would not criticize any of his opponents. He referred obliquely to "the attention that the candidates who are more on the extreme are getting in the media." After his speech, hounded by a few reporters, he refused to comment on Hillary Clinton's ongoing email scandal, or the rumors of a Joe Biden presidential bid stoked by friends of the vice president.

After the speech, Webb worked his way quietly out of the fair, pursued by TV cameras, stopping only to sign copies of his book and a photo of a voter's soldier son. He insisted that he was having fun regardless.

"I actually saw one T-shirt that said: I'm not interested, I'm in it for the chicks," said Webb. "This is a fair. Everybody is selling something or going on a ride."

At this point, O'Malley needs to give up on the left-of-Hillary but right-of-Bernie game and just lean into the Carcetti image.

"Yeah, I'm a scumbag, but I get stuff done. I know how to work the system and gently caress over everyone."

I'm in Des Moines for work and got to live my dream. I met Martin O'Malley and asked him, "You're the guy from Baltimore who is running for President, right? Governor Carcetti?"

He just laughed and said, "Nope, I'm Martin O'Malley. The Wire was great television, but it's also fiction." Then he asked me to caucus for him, but I said I don't live in Iowa and he said to check out his website and gave me a sticker. I should have had a better question to ask him, but I didn't have any off the top of my head and he left after about 30 seconds.

That is my story. Thank you for listening Goons.

This is one of the best things I've read all week. Chapeau!

New reports on the least important candidate of the cycle who is somehow managing to take everything annoying about the Internet and combine it into one campaign:

Jimmy Wales is going to chair Lessig's exploratory committee. According to Wales, "when you light up the Internet, anything is possible."

(Also Lessig will run if his crowd funding campaign hits 1 million by Labor Day. It's so nice to see Democrats getting into the scampaign spirit.)

If the networks stop having kids' table debates, and the polling companies drop them from the questionnaires, that might be enough.

Perry's running out of money, I don't know if he'll officially drop out even if he stops campaigning.
