Recently we wrote about Martin O’Malley – the uber-liberal governor of Maryland who is aspiring to challenge presumed nominee Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nod.
It wasn’t a good article, either … but that’s not our fault. O’Malley fell asleep during a meeting. We had to poke fun at him. Just as we had to mock his state for its anti-competitive assault on the Second Amendment.
Anyway … O’Malley can take comfort in the fact that despite our best efforts to improve his name identification in early-voting South Carolina, home to the nation’s “First in the South” presidential primaries, he’s still an unknown commodity.
According to Gallup polling released earlier this month, a whopping 69 percent of Democrats (and Democratic-leaning “independents”) have never heard of O’Malley – compared to 9 percent who view him favorably, 7 percent who view him unfavorably and 15 percent who have heard of him but have no opinion.
That makes O’Malley the least-known of the 2016 Democratic contenders – a field paced by Clinton, vice president Joe Biden, New York governor Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
In fact O’Malley’s name recognition trails Warren – who a virtual unknown compared to Clinton or Biden – by a whopping thirty percentage points.
We’ve written previously on efforts by the “Maryland Mob” - a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, O’Malley, Chris Van Hollen, et. al. – to position O’Malley as a viable presidential contender (at Clinton’s expense). Clearly they’ve got their work cut out for them.

Obama & O'Malley OWE Mathias and Conway for their successes
Democrat hopefuls,we sure better make sure none of those mantioned gets elected.O'Mally a total disaster for Md , Clinton a crook and a thief,when she left the white house she took pictures and artifacts that belonged to the federal government(the american people), Joe Biden words can't even describe that fool, Cuomo a billionaire ultra liberal who doesn't have a clue what the average american struggles with to support a family and then there is the truely most dangerous one of all Elizabeth Warren she makes all the others look like TEA party members.She is the one who came up that crap,if you own a business you didn't build it.Obama would dearly love to see her elected as president,it would be just the same as if he never left office.
Bill Clinton was a nobody, too.
And if not 2016, you will see MOM back in 2020 and 2024. He's got age on his side there.
If HilLiary runs you can bet her opposition research will leave him wishing he'd kept his gig banjo busking in A'plis!
