The Maryland governor is filling the void in Iowa, New Hampshire and beyond during the early stages of the 2016 presidential race, campaigning for fellow Democrats and making personal appeals while former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the prohibitive -- if yet undeclared -- favorite.
In the summer before November's mid-term elections, Clinton's dominant position in a hypothetical field has limited Democrats' activities in early presidential voting states even while an ambitious slate of Republicans descend. Active Democrats here say O'Malley has become an exception, cultivating relationships and developing a reputation as a loyal foot soldier for the party.

What are the bets that his trip is costing tax payers millions?
Voters in Maryland allowed him to screw up this State so I guess they will vote for him to screw up the Country as well. Wait a minute, Obama has already done that.
Making it look competitive, Hillary will reward him with some job in the administration.
Saw a similar happy talk effort on his behalf by AP. To their credit, Marylanders commenting were heaping abuse on OweMalley and warning readers elsewhere to beware of 'our' slimeball.
A point of concern, as it was in 2008, is that Hiliary has very strong negatives and may not choose to run because of the work involved, health, or actually having her records scrutinized.
If that turns outs to be the case OweMalley may be the best known and best organized to step into the vacuum her failure to run or faltering could create.
For our country's sake I wish him nothing but bad luck.
11:01 Bingo, that's what this is all about. Travel the country on the taxpayers dime, knowing you will not win... but you'll get a nice six figure salary to do absolutely nothing.
He won't make a dent he sucks.
They`ll learn he`s the kiss of death in anything he touches. Bye Bye Democrats in Iowa! Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like Obama you will love O'Malley. Both liberal dems that do not have a clue as to how to run a business, state, or country.
To WHOM is he related?
Geneology is the most important factor for determining the POTUS
She has it. He doesn't.
I wouldn't worry too much...his polling is at 1 percent...even Joe Bite ME is higher!
If Obama and O'Malley would stop taking vacations/campaigning on our dime maybe we could actually afford to go away somewhere.
