O'Malley's thinking about running again? Who can blame him after that last heroic jaunt.

tcrosse ayon kay ...

He still has to get past the Queen in Exile.

Humperdink ayon kay ...

Well he's got "former mayor of Baltimore" on his resume, so there's that. What a fine city it is.

The man who taxed rainfall in Maryland tests the waters in Iowa.

Every party needs its perpetual no-chance candidate that no one votes for.

Michael K ayon kay ...

At least he is younger than the rest of the party.

I expect to see Cory Booker run.

Since I don't do twitter, my heart is never atwitter. And frankly, only birds should tweet. But however, if this means having the Dems go for a candidate not named Hillary, I'm all for it.

Sometimes I get sick of these people with their future-oriented behaviors such as planning and delaying gratification. They sure cause a lot of problems for other people.

AllenS ayon kay ...

O'Malley will drop out as soon as you-know-who threatens to take his scalp.

Original Mike ayon kay ...

I can't wait not to vote for him.

Bay Area Guy ayon kay ...

Did O'Malley run last time? I had forgot:)

Hopefully, Lincoln Chaffee will follow O'Malley's lead - the bland following the bland.

Sebastian ayon kay ...

Sorry, Marty. It's Oprah time. She won't need no polls.

Tank ayon kay ...

Pitiful.

Mitch H. ayon kay ...

IF the Democrats want to win in 2020, it'll be someone from the Midwest. A senator, maybe?

jaydub ayon kay ...

Who said the Democrat bench wasn't deep? ;)

O'Malley's vulnerable on the sexual picadillo front. It got shut down in a hurry the first time it made it into social media because it came from a republican staffer and well, Maryland, but I had heard about it from a reliable source in his mayoral administration a year or so before it became public. Of course, my reliable source is nothing to you and certainly no proof, but good opposition research could be fruitful and delicious.

Hillary's entitlement has not yet expired.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

Now if Chuck really was a lifelong Republican, he'd be joining me in saying "Please, please, PLEASE!"

Do you mean "fruity?" Delicious!

Bad Lieutenant ayon kay ...

Naw, Big Mike, if C were a loyal patriotic American he'd be begging and praying for H to run again, and to shiv all D opposition by any means necessary, as is her wont.

southcentralpa ayon kay ...

Yeah, everyone is lining up to vote for a guy who took a lib state hard left to try to set himself up to run to HRC's left.

The formula for Democrats is classically "governor of a red or reddish state, preferably in the South".
Looks like it's slim pickins out there, though.

This is for years when they don't have a "charistmatic member of a groundbreaking demographic group". But I think they can only pull an Obama once—the "first Latino president" or "first Asian president" just is not going to have the resonance that "first black president" did. And I'm not seeing any groundbreaking women out there with the necessary ingredients on the Dem side—as Hillary showed us, the charisma is a necessary part of the equation.

Bushman of the Kohlrabi ayon kay ...

It's never too early to finish last.

Eric ayon kay ...

We will know that the Trump economic miracle has been achieved when even Martin O'Malley can get a paying job.
