I like what I've seen from him so far but I'd like to know more.

He's another progressive, i.e., he's a socialist, anti-Constitutionalist. What more do you need to know ?

A two-term governor who leaves office in January, Mr. O'Malley signed a law raising the state's minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2018. Last year, after the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., he signed legislation banning various kinds of assault weapons and imposing new limits on the size of gun magazines. The same year, he pushed through the first state gas-tax increase since 1992, which supporters said was needed to improve the state's aging transportation network.

This summer, Mr. O'Malley said unaccompanied minors illegally entering the U.S. shouldn't be returned to home countries where they would be in danger—a position at odds with the White House, which was warning that children who weren't eligible to remain in the U.S. would be sent home.

No thanks.

He's an anti gun huge tax & spend progressive

Just what we need!!!

At least he would take the progressive votes away from neocon Hillary which might lead to a poor candidate being nominated

But some party fundraisers say they have come away from private conversations with Mr. O'Malley with a clear impression that he wouldn't stand down should Mrs. Clinton run.

Seems more and more Dems aren't too comfortable putting HRC in the driver seat. Can't blame them - she'll have a shitload of baggage.

Updated:

HRC is toast. Just saw that she refuses to answer if she backs her husbands welfare reform. Weak. Fake. Toast.

O'Malley to Announce in Baltimore, Make City Central to Campaign | The Weekly Standard

You obviously don't know much about O'Malley. He has managed to lose the support of the majority of Marylanders who got sick and tired of his love for taxes (the man never met a tax he didn't love, heck he's the one who proposed the 'rain tax'), his cronyism, and his total lack of leadership. The fact that his lieutenant gov Brown lost was a strong vote on O'Malley's pathetic record and the fact that people didn't want a continuation of the same losing policies. Maryland has some of the highest taxes in the country, makes doing business in the state very difficult, and the state has lost taxpayers and businesses to neighboring states at an alarming rate. This is an article from 2012, but nothing changed for the better in his last 2 years in office.

He made owning a gun in Maryland extremely onerous and politics were his only motivation for his decisions. The jerk doesn't stand a chance in h--- and I hope he disappears into the sunset very, very quickly.
