Martin O’Malley sounds like a fortune cookie

[Mr. Morden]

O’Malley is currently doing a town hall event in South Carolina.  (Yes, he holds no office, and is presumably two years from announcing a presidential run, yet he’s doing a town hall at the College of Charleston in South Carolina.)  This journalist is live-tweeting the event:

"There is only one superpower in the world: Love"

Wow, that's the best one.  I can't believe he actually said that.  I guess the town hall is over now, so we won't be getting any more of these today.

Found one more on another Twitter account:

In other Martin O'news: O'Malley says he doesn't think Sanders would have won last year if he'd been the nominee, but he does think that he (O'Malley) would have won:

I am hoping someone live tweets at least the town hall part.  Hoping for some more O'Wisdom about how Love is a superpower, and should get a seat on the UN Security Council.

We are already getting some O’Malley-isms from his trip to NH today, though they’re not as good as the ones from South Carolina:

Why didn't they teach me that in Econ 101?

Last Sunday, O'Malley looked to the world of Game of Thrones for his O'Malley-ism inspiration:

Will we get any similar insights from tonight's season finale?

O'Malley seems to have moved away somewhat from the more abstract analogies (like "love is the world's only superpower"), but he hasn't given up on analogies completely:
