Martin O'Malley sticks with Plan A: try to upend Hillary Clinton
The Christian Science Monitor ^ | March 3, 2015 | Linda Feldmann, Staff writer

Posted on 03/04/2015 1:28:23 PM PST by McGruff

Former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) of Maryland isn’t running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D), who is retiring at the end of her term.

Mr. O’Malley, it appears, is keeping his eyes on the prize: the presidency. O’Malley has been quietly preparing for months to run for president, despite the appearance that Hillary Rodham Clinton has the Democratic nomination all but locked up, without even having announced.

I confess I know nothing of this guy but if he is willing to challenge She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named he can't be that bad.

He’s the top story on Drudge at the moment. Hope he knows enough to stay out of places like Fort Marcy Park.

Martin O’Malley? Who?

If he is planning on upending Hillary, can I buy life insurance on this guy? Better odds than the lotto!

He shouldn’t have to worry about hil. Looks like the left is taking her out. Warren is the one to worry about.

Funny part is, you don’t have to go to Ft. Marcy park to end up in Ft. Marcy park!

Almost every photo I see of Martin O’Malley has him grinning ear to ear, lollygagging, making silly faces or otherwise looking unpresidential. He strikes me as smug and overconfident, the way Chris Christie was two years ago. He still has time to repackage and reinvent, something he may need to do if the plan is to displace Hillary.

No, he’s just as bad, if not worse. The problem I see with him is that the media tell the drones that people like Bill, Hillary, Barry, and Michelle are attractive people, and a lot of them vote for them for little more than that, though all four are actually fairly homely. O’Malley is actually a pretty good looking guy. Honestly, that’s enough for a lot of the dims. Look out for O’Malley.

Yes, he can. Just as liberal as Hillary and almost as cunning. What’s interesting is O’Malley’s (apparent) decision to keep working on a presidential bid. Securing the Dim nomination for Mikulski’s Senate seat could have been his for the asking. He smells blood in the water, and so do a lot of other libs.

........this guy........

Politically Correct beyond belief. Total Loonie Left ideologue. You white, you ain't all right with this creep. Vote fraud? You ain't seen nothin' until you see the way they do it in Baltimore, which, BTW, used to be run as the private fiefdom of Nancy Pelosi's dear olde dad!

O'Mally? Think of him as the white Jesse Jackson.

This is O’Malice who has taxed rain in Maryland. He was Chairman of Governors’ Conference in ‘13 (’12? whatever)during Walker recall and I caught the two of them on split screen on 2- 3 different occasions, at which times he would always be sure to zing Walker with , “who hasn’t been indicted—yet,” as though he John Doe was anything but a witch hunt. Yet he presided over spectacular corruption in the Baltimore City jail system as both mayor of Baltimore and governor that ought to get him some j.t. himself.

O’Malley is a covert Marxist. Just look at his authoritarian actions while governor of Maryland.

I love it when two Marxists have a power fight. O’Malley versus Hillary, the “Thriller from Outer Space”.

Hillary may not even run... They are using her to draw fire away from other more liberal candidates.

I know nothing about him either, but from watching the video in the article I would say Hillary has a serious problem. He’s a much more attractive candidate than sHrillary.

O'Malley passed a "rain tax." Yep, when it rains on your property you are taxed for that.

This is only one small reason he was replaced with a Republican in a dark blue state.
