Helllo John --

I was wondering if you might be willing to provide me with your thoughts on something that popped up today.   I have known Gov O'Malley for quite some time and generally think very highly of him. That said, I did not flinch when he called and asked for my support... I told him that I was backing Hillary 100%, which to his credit he understood.    I received a message from him today asking if, now that he is out of the race, I would be willing to consider making a personal contribution to him to help with the little bit of an overhang he has remaining from his campaign.   I have to say that all things being equal, I am always willing to help a friend and my inclination would be to make a personal contribution to help him out.   But, that said, I am 100% hillary first, and would never do that if it in any way would have a negative impact on our collective ultimate goal.    So -- I was wondering if you could provide any suggestions on how best to navigate this??

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Stanton
