*Great to be in Baltimore, home of Star Spangled Banner, where M. O'Malley is about to speak,

[elleng]

and open his campaign.

C-SPAN (Maybe CNN too)

[chillfactor]

1. also MSNBC n/t

[Buzz Clik]

2. Great. Yet another zealous group of angry DUers is about to kick into action.

Can't wait for this: "Anyone who doesn't support "O'Malley isn't a true Democrat. So, what's it gonna be -- are you Third Way or O'Malley?"

Maybe they'll surprise me and not be as unsufferable as the Sanders crew.

[KittyWampus]

3. I think O'Malley supporters will get extra venom from the Sanders crew...

he'll sap support from Bernie from the Left cause O'Malley will appear more 'electable'.

I like Sanders, am resigned to possibility of Hillary and am toying with supporting O'Malley or last option of just waiting until primary day in NY and making up my mind that morning.

[Buzz Clik]

7. I like Sanders just fine...

... it's the DU "Sanders Slanderers" that annoy me.

[KittyWampus]

12. I've seen very, very little of that here on DU.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Maybe I just attract flies.

[Buzz Clik]

17. Here's a perfect example...

... of a Bernie fan that is way over the top with angry zealotry:

14. I bet you're wrong, wampus. I welcome o'malley to the race

And that is all I've seen from bernies's supporters. Clinton supporters? I've already seen several mocking, dismissive comments.

[elleng]

4. Please check out our group,

we are not angry and won't accept incivility. We invite DISCUSSION.

8. I have no doubt that some -- most? -- of you are civil and nice.

Not all.

[cyberswede]

5. It always cracks me up when DUers complain about things that haven't happened yet.

[Buzz Clik]

9. It's our goal to entertain.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Please don't do that. It's not helping.

[bigtree]

10. most advocates for O'Malley have been supportive of the other candidates

...actually taking some incoming fire, ourselves.

[sufrommich]

11. The O'Malley supporters here seem like

a pretty mellow group from what I've seen.

[cali]

15. lol.

You have no room to preach.

[Buzz Clik]

16. If there's no room to preach, it's because someone is hogging the pulpit.

Funny how you always show up...

18. "Martin O'Malley jumps into presidential race" USA Today10:51 am

Former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley formally launched his presidential candidacy Saturday by stressing income inequality ahead of what figures to be an uphill battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

"The American Dream seems for so many of us to be hanging by a thread," O'Malley said in his official announcement, pledging to close "a growing gap of injustice in our country."

The former Baltimore mayor also made "new leadership" and "executive experience" his campaign themes during a mid-morning announcement speech at a hill top park overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

His goal: "To rebuild the American Dream."....

...."Most years, there's the inevitable front-runner and that inevitable front-runner is inevitable right up until he or she is no longer inevitable," he said.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/05/30/martin-omalley-president-announcement/27330857/

I just hope he's not in actuality running for VP to the DNC's inevitable Hillary nomination....it would be nice if Bernie isn't the only one campaigning on how he truly feels & what he actually believes. Rather than just knowing what's popular & running with that, knowing its centrism full speed ahead when elected. People saying the right things & running as progressive but being conservative once elected is getting beyond old. IMO its unacceptable.

[bigtree]

19. don't forget that Martin O'Malley has done more than just advocate for policy

...he's actually achieved and implemented most of the ideals he's speaking of in our state.
