Martin O’Malley Steers Clear of Hillary Clinton Email Issue
Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor who is considering a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, took a pass on Friday when asked about the controversy over Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email use at the State Department, but called transparency “required in the modern age.”
Mr. O’Malley made the remarks to reporters in New Hampshire, an early presidential primary state he has visited several times over the last year. He expressed neither support nor criticism for Mrs. Clinton, who is in the middle of the email maelstrom, saying he was unaware of the policies at the federal level. But, asked about what policies he employed in Maryland, he talked about the availability of both government and personal emails when there were record requests.
“I think openness and transparency are required in governing in the modern age,” Mr. O’Malley said, adding later, “Openness and transparency [are] the wave of the future.”

His only chance is if Hillary gets the nomination -- he could be the VP. Impossible under either Elizabeth Warren or Slo-Joe Biden who are libs and from the east coast. Hillary is from there (now) but is not associated with the east like they are.
All I know is if O'Malley becomes the democratic nominee for President, the Republicans would have the easiest slam-dunk ever to win the Presidency!
Yes that is exactly what he is doing. Not sure what is in it for Hillary.
The Clinton-OMalley ticket would be wonderful!...
For our side!

Hillary needs O'Malley to divert attention from her sins and actions as a Washington insider. He's a fresh face (except in Maryland) from "beyond the beltway" although not by very much.
if they could find 50 million brain dead morons to vote for that fool we have now, twice, then all is lost.
He passing up a good opportunity to be senator.
Yes, O'Malley is Hillary meat and has been for 4 years. He can afford to be patient.
This country is GONE if Owe Malley is somehow heaven help us elected into office.
They'd make an entertaining ticket: she could play the swinette and he'd play banjo. Should be a hit in the cities and in fly-over country!
