http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/run-2016/2014/09/03/would-martin-omalley-really-run-against-hillary-clintonThe Wall Street Journal has talked to Democratic donors who say Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has indicated he'll run for president in 2016, even if that pits him in a long-shot Democratic primary bid against Hillary Clinton.

(13,190 posts)The fact that he hasn't been the best person for African Americans in fact how ironic just this morning Joe Madison was talking about him about the case where the black male was handcuffed by the cops and killed by them.Apparently Madison Dick Gregory,Sharpton, ect. were protesting the killing of this guy and O'Malley was at the time a Mayor running for Governor he wouldn't back them up.

(11,175 posts)I'm sure that we'll hear about this action as Mayor or that action as Governor as a reason not to support him. Heck, in 2008 we heard about an Obama kindergarten essay as a reason not to support him. That's why, as long as the primaries don't turn vicious, competition is a good idea -- it helps to bring out this stuff and see which criticisms have weight and which don't.

I'm sure some here will feel the need to start attacking him on DU.
