This year is probably not his year.

He'll be the nominee in 2024.

If he's Hillary's VP pick, then his destiny is sealed, and he will be the nominee and presidential winner in 2024.

environmental stances..

technie sons is firmly behind him for the primaries, especially because of his positions on alternative energy sources. My son had the privilege of attending meetings (before O'M declared his candidacy for President) that showed how much he has thought these very important issues through.

If Hillary's campaign somehow implodes (which is always possible, even if unlikely), I am more likely to switch to full support of O'M than to Bernie. Martin is younger than either Hillary or Bernie and a forward thinking leader for the future whose stands are every bit as "progressive" as Bernie's are.

Of course, whatever happens, I will vote for the Dem nominee in the GE.

It was 2014 when I first met Gov O'Malley here in Iowa.. and I have gotten to go to a few of his meetings.. and his knowledge on environmental issues is astounding.. I live in a state that produces so much wind energy..makes up 25% of our energy usage..we are number three in the nation in turbines.. so I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about the subject.. he just blew me away.. (in a literal sense

edit for spelling .. good grief.. I need another cup of coffee

Democratic Governors' Association, where he made many Dem allies.

Right now many of these are likely behind Hillary's candidacy. But O'M's long history as a Democrat makes me believe that most Dem super-delegates would feel very comfortable backing him, if his campaign gains more traction and Hillary's somehow stalls.

While many, including me, love Bernie - and many of his stands - Martin's stands are every bit as good, IMO.

just look at 2007--8 primary

that is how you get the best person for the job.. supporters on all sides need to stop being so ugly to each other.. because in the end we have to bring that other side into our fold if my candidate wins or yours wins or someone else.. and I happen to think Gov. O'Malley is the best fit to be President.. by a long shot, ..

Yet Obama went on to win the GE.

and the President got hamstrung by supporters of Sec Clinton who felt they were dismissed.. That type of ugliness in attacking one another is not good for the eventual winner..they are going to be trying to get our platform through..

laughing so hard I can hardly breathe...
