Former Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, who has been promoting himself to Democrats as a potential alternative to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 race for the White House, on Sunday spoke out against the possibility of a dynastic rematch between Mrs. Clinton and Jeb Bush.

"The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families," Mr. O’Malley said on ABC’s "This Week."

George Soros, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, our local banana republic billionaires, aren't royals.

George Soros, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, our local banana republic billionaires, aren't royals.

He didn't dare speak the real no-no word: elite.

No more tax and spend Marylands......

[wiggen]

we may not want him but the theme of no more of those families is something we all say. I hope all the candidates say it.

Pictures of middle-aged politicians playing guitars don’t impress anyone anymore, if they ever did.

[Old Yeller]

He’s still pissed that the Royals knocked the Orioles out of the playoffs last baseball season. Now he wants them gone.

I predicted last week that O'Malley would be the Dem candidate....cuz he's handsome and articulate. Though given brains, most women still vote with their eyes.

No one listens to the message cuz they're politicians.

I welcome new faces, new serious contenders, but he strikes me as an empty suit with an empty head. He was being interviewed by Stephanopoulos yesterday, and had trouble naming the top level threats to America. Climate Change was his number two choice. FAIL!

[Caipirabob]

I’ve been the same thing for years. We are America and we are going to do better than shillary and little jebbie.

O’Malley’s “words of wisdom” started a turf war over at DU.

What’s with the latest memorial to Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy?

Is a new generation of Kennedys waiting in the wings to recreate Camelot & re-emerge as “America’s First Family”?

I don't know if women vote for looks as much as manliness. As much as the libbers whine, there's something in female DNA that favors men who convey the perception of being able to take care of themselves and others.

Obama never would've won if either McCain or Romney had projected those qualities. Think about it....neither Gore nor Kerry were manly can-do men compared to GWB.

For that reason, Cruz is a real good choice. On the dem side, it's Webb that seems to most convery that.

JMHO

[bmwcyle]

They want us to believe Democrats are fighting the elite. Their souls were bought first.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
