Martin O'Malley is running.



Who? The former governor of Maryland! Who inexplicably spent a lot of time in his bid for that seat touting his opposition to the Iraq War as mayor of Baltimore.

He plays in a Celtic Rock band, though.



The luck of the Irish is not with this one, however. In addition to polling at 1% in the Democratic primary, he is broke. Partially from sending his kids to expensive, out-of-state schools! He tried to make money from some speeches, but the city he broke started burning so he had to come back so people could yell at him.

Although his campaign may be a failure [TBD!!!], it reminded me I should get around to finally watching The Wire.

It's a pity O'Malley isn't going to be worth an attack ad because one featuring littlefinger would be lol as gently caress

I'm open in my skepticism about Bernie Sanders but lol

lmao at the Democrat party hacks on my Facebook saying things like "well, I'm weighing my options and all potential candidates. For example, I'm currently considering Martin O'Malley..."

Like literally Tommy Carcetti from The Wire who almost got ran out of Baltimore because he hosed the place up which resulted in riots.

Please do not do this, O'Malley has hard a hard few months and cannot take this bullying.

A few months ago (pre-riots) there was a news article that was basically "CREATOR OF THE WIRE SEES MARTIN O'MALLEY ON TRAIN; AWKWARDNESS ENSUES"

O'Malley's move to the left since he started running (and his poor attempts to co-opt Sanders' positions) have been laughable

I just can't believe that he's still trying to defend his stance on criminal justice issues as Baltimore mayor, even Hillary and Bill have now denounced their old "tough on crime" stance multiple times. O'Malley is trying to run to her left and yet is less willing to disavow policies that were even worse than what Bill and Hillary supported, it's a very bad strategy.
