Why Some Donors Are Giving To Dark Horse Martin O'Malley

As it turns out, not everyone is ready for Hillary.

Though former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic frontrunner, leads by as much as 50 percent in some polls, there is some evidence that some former supporters are looking with interest at Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

As many Democrats might have expected, O’Malley has attracted respectable support from within Maryland, as well as from some prominent former Obama supporters, such as the bundler Stewart Bainum.

But, more surprisingly, O’Malley’s early base of support also overlaps somewhat with Clinton’s network, even as she appears as poised as ever to run for president and swamp him in the race, at least at the outset.

If you're in it for the money (why else do people donate?), and you're not already established in the Clinton machine, you have to buy another candidate. Why is this surprising?
