O'Malley Event Draws One Voter in Snowy Iowa

   
Snowy weather conditions forced several presidential candidates, including Governor Christie Christie and Senator Marco Rubio, to cancel their campaign appearances in Iowa on Monday afternoon. Martin O'Malley, however, stayed the course.

Wrapping up a slew of events, the former Maryland Governor's final stop of the day in Tama, Iowa, was a little personal as only a single voter braved the weather conditions to come out and meet him. 

Self-identifying only as "Kenneth," the gentlemen said that he believes O'Malley is the most experienced of the three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, but he stopped short of committing to the fledgling candidate's campaign, even after the one-on-one town hall.

Often overshadowed by the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders at the debates and in polling, O'Malley has struggled to chart a successful course in the primary thus far. Real Clear Politics has O'Malley's support at 5.7% in Iowa.
