Maryland Governor Inches Toward Presidential Run

Fundraisers Say Gov. Martin O'Malley Tells Them Hillary Clinton Candidacy Wouldn't Stop Him

By PETER NICHOLAS       CONNECT

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley waves as he walks toward the podium at the California Democratic Party's state convention in March in Los Angeles.

ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Democratic fundraisers say Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has told them he would enter the presidential race even if front-runner Hillary Clinton is a candidate, suggesting she would face at least some competition for her party's nomination from an established elected official if she runs.

Mr. O'Malley's camp had signaled earlier this year that the governor likely wouldn't join the field if Mrs. Clinton sought the Democratic nomination. But some party fundraisers say they have come away from private conversations with Mr. O'Malley with a clear impression that he wouldn't stand down should Mrs. Clinton run.

As is the case with Mrs. Clinton, the governor says he is still deciding his course. Asked if he would compete against Mrs. Clinton, Mr. O'Malley, in a recent interview in the State House, said: "I'm not inclined to talk about that at this point. But I don't blame you for asking."

Despite his public reticence, Mr. O'Malley's message to fundraisers and other recent actions show him to be making the sorts of moves that would position him for an eventual run.

This chart below shows O'Malley's main problem:



I still think it'll be Biden.

It'd certainly be amusing, reading all the venom that the pissy fag contingent on DU would post about her in the primary contest.

Oh, he's got much bigger things to overcome than name recognition.  I think his cluster****ing failures as mayor of Baltimore, his well deserved reputation as an authoritarian gun grabber, and all around collectivist failure would suffice to sink him.  And who could ever forget this little gem:

Gang Leader Impregnates Four Female Prison Guards


April 24, 2013

Four female correction officers were impregnated by the reported leader of a Maryland prison gang, which used a network of female prison guards to help launder money, run drugs and smuggle contraband into state detention facilities, according to a federal indictment.

Thirteen female and two male prison guards are facing federal corruption charges following a months long investigation into corruption and conspiracy at Maryland's correctional facilities.

Inmates bought contraband and gifts for guards, including luxury cars, using reloadable debit cards. And guards smuggled contraband in their underwear, using entrances where they knew they would not be thoroughly screened, the indictment states.

Personally, I hope he does.  It should be fun watching his ass go down in flames...

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I hope he does.  And I hope he leaves Shrillery in the dust.

Then the general election will come around, and he won't be able to run away from his record, how he's signed some of the most draconian anti-gun laws in the country, and taxes RAIN, for Chrissakes.

Go ahead, Marty--run!
