Martin O’Malley did pretty good last night, he didn't attack ANYBODY!!!

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley had a speech motif that focused on action, not words.

“Not all of us have a record of getting things done. I do,” O’Malley said, advertising his time as governor.

O’Malley called for a raise in minimum wage, advancing the cause of paid family leave, making college more affordable and expanding Social Security. He also called for moving the United States toward a clean electric energy grid by 2050.

The former governor praised President Obama’s record, but told the audience that the country elected a president, not a magician and reminded it that there was work to be done.

I can be there. He was just a few miles from me a couple months ago to inspect an ethanol plant. But it wasn't open to the public.

I thought O'Malley gave a great speech. I didn't know he could be that "fired up" because we haven't seen that much of him, except in the debate. He had great delivery, inflection and enthusiasm.
