O'Malley tests 2016 waters with inspirational speech

If Hillary Clinton doesn't run, another Democrat is in the bullpen mapping out a strategy for Iowa, the place where presidential hopefuls toiling in the minors can move up to the big league.

Polling shows Clinton is the Democratic front-runner in the 2016 race, but she said Friday she won't make up her mind until her first grandchild is born this fall and she can "figure out how that feels." So far this presidential election cycle, she has avoided the implied desire for the Oval Office that an Iowa trip brings about.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is pointedly not avoiding Iowa.

"Any campaign still comes down to one individual meeting with and talking to another individual," he told about 45 Democratic activists at a pre-door-knocking rally at a Beaverdale bar Saturday morning, "because the most powerful beliefs we share are those beliefs that come alive in the context of relationships with one another."

He's a goofy SOB. He needs to sit down and shut up and stop embarrassing his family. He is nothing to be proud of. He's an ignorant nothing and wouldn't even break double digit percentages in any state's primary.
He needs to be on his knees daily thanking God that the peons in Baltimore City and DC suburbs are half witted enough to have voted for him.

I don't think he has a prayer, but God help us if he does to the country what he's done to Md.
