Martin O’Malley, Bob McDonnell Square Off

Govs. Martin O’Malley (D-Md.) and Bob McDonnell (R-Va.) continued their long-running war of words Friday morning, battling over who had the better strategy for creating jobs.
As leaders of neighboring states and as the heads of the Democratic Governors Association and Republican Governors Association, McDonnell and O’Malley have criticized each other in the past. Still, the duo has to work together on other issues, including improving Washington, D.C.’s Metro system and cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay.
O’Malley started things off on CNN’s “Starting Point” by saying he was happy McDonnell wasn’t completely ruling out accepting money from the federal government to expand Medicaid as part of President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.
