Democrat Martin O’Malley makes early, and tricky, Iowa inroads as 2016 presidential prospect

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is walking an early — and tricky path — into presidential proving ground Iowa on Sunday, less than 60 days before the 2012 election.

The chairman of the Democratic Governors Association says he is focused on helping Iowans elect a Democratic governor in 2014, not sowing seeds for his own presidential ambition.

O’Mally tells reporters before speaking to hundreds of Iowa Democratic activists that he’s attending the fundraiser because his friend, Sen. Tom Harkin, asked him come to Harkin’s annual fall fundraiser.

Very interesting, I would be happy with O'Malley, seems like a good guy and doing great things in Maryland

...If Hillary decides to run, I'd see Marty in the VP slot.
