He is what I think of when I imagine what a public servant should be. Comfortable and respectful when communicating with people from all walks of life. I used the word communicating for a reason. He is humble and understands he must listen to needs before talking about how to address needs.

Am I allowed to comment on his looks or is that out of bounds? I'm going to have a calendar made with O'Malley and Obama trading months.

Don't know much about him, but everything I do know is positive.

Probably our best prospect for a vigorous two-term presidency.

A positive force for Democrats.

He has potential.

I like his band too!

I like that he talks policy and gets down into the weeds on issues.

His climate platform, wall street platform and immigration platform are among the most progressive ever presented by a serious Dem candidate.

He takes tough stands on issues that may not be popular or important in the beltway but are huge moral concerns - ending death penalty, providing sanctuary for child refugees from Central America, bankruptcy relief for Puerto Rico, forced deportation of citizens from Dominican Republic. He is speaking up when no one else will and that matters.

He follows his talk with action. He repealed death penalty, he worked to provide sanctuary for more child refugees per capita than any other state, etc.

He speaks of immigration issues with passion and it's clear that this isn't just lip service. He made immigration/minority issues a forefront of his Governorship.

When he was the mayor of Baltimore I sent him an email complaining about an unscrupulous character who was suing me over ground rents (long story, Baltimore thing), while he couldn't help me directly with my problem he emailed me back the day after I sent the email and wished me luck.

Thanks for posting.

And I think his supporters are a class act. I should really try to model after them!


He really speaks to the Latino community.

Has a wicked sense of humor.

I like O'Malley because he actually has plans to fix things, and he has put those plans out for all to see. We should all be talking about the "issues" instead of fighting over polls, or bashing the "other" candidates. I would love to see every supporter here post on the issues and how their candidate will fix the problems. Discussions on the issues would be much more productive than what we see now. Is that asking to much?

proposals of any of the candidates. It is really impressive the amount of policy work he has put forth.

Our Chance to Capture the Center

By Martin O'Malley and Harold Ford Jr.

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

With President Bush and the Republican Party on the rocks, many Democrats think the 2008 election will be, to borrow a favorite GOP phrase, a cakewalk. Some liberals are so confident about Democratic prospects that they contend the centrism that vaulted Democrats to victory in the 1990s no longer matters.

The temptation to ignore the vital center is nothing new. Every four years, in the heat of the nominating process, liberals and conservatives alike dream of a world in which swing voters don't exist. Some on the left would love to pretend that groups such as the Democratic Leadership Council, the party's leading centrist voice, aren't needed anymore.

But for Democrats, taking the center for granted next year would be a greater mistake than ever before. George W. Bush is handing us Democrats our Hoover moment. Independents, swing voters and even some Republicans who haven't voted our way in more than a decade are willing to hear us out. With an ambitious common-sense agenda, the progressive center has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win back the White House, expand its margins in Congress and build a political and governing majority that could last a generation.

A majority comes hard for Democrats. In the past 150 years, only three Democrats, one of whom was Franklin Roosevelt, have won the White House with a majority of the popular vote.

Was a good governor of Maryland

Talk is cheap, delivering the goods counts for something.

Hoping many others will notice.
