Why Not Martin O'Malley?

26. It's also hard to reconcile his support for Clinton in the 2008 Campaign

with his statement to the effect that the presidency was not some crown to be passed between two families....(Mar, 2015)

If you were to ask me- the country needs a Bernie Sanders not a Clinton light...

I have no clue how the Democratic dynamics will play out...but my guess is that O'Malley is running mate material.

On edit: Matt Taibi has an interview on Democracy Now today (21 May). Apparently Taibi has a current Rolling Stone article and is working on a book on urban crime. He argues the Baltimore violence in reaction to the Freddie Gray incident was not surprising given policing strategies ongoing for decades. The article and book may be illuminating about O'Malley's tenure as governor and Mayor of Baltimore because O'Malley touts his governance credentials for lowering crime in Baltimore. Taibi's Rolling Stone article is going to be linked to Democracy Now. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post it...
