That's how they do it in River City! 
I haven't been in that musical since 1985 - so I'm a bit foggy.
I played Amaryllis!
But it applies here. Kudo's for you! Are you still acting/singing? 
In Maryland - there is this kind of Utopia thing he's got going on . .
A $10.10 minimum wage is real.
He pissed off Beretta <--- Snorty laugh at the gun nuts
Same sex marriage is the law of the land in Maryland (screw Fed gov get it done!)
The death penalty has been outlawed.
He kept the college tuition costs DOWN.
He DID it from the left.
Why wouldn't he run from the left brooklynite?
That's his record. 
He has strong accomplishments - that are what the other candidates are talking about trying to implement across the land.
He's actually done it as a Governor! 
If his credentials include items that appeal to the Left - he can't possibly be expected to not speak to what he did as Governor - can he?
Whoops. 
votes by only winning Minnesota and DC), the party was in a disarray. The national press was writing obituaries for the party. The DLC allowed the party at that time to move forward and regroup. Whether the DLC remained around too long or not is a different subject.
Until Obama's victory, there was no model for how the Democrats could win on a national level without being centrist. Luckily, today the country and party are shifting left (that to Obama, Sen Warren, and Republican ineptitude/obstruction. I have no problem with a Democrat supporting the DLC prior to Obama. If they are still supporting that way of thinking, it should raise flags, but trying to rewrite the past is wrong.
AAR, O'Malley may look for centrist votes (as all our candidate should if they want to win), but he governed well to the left. His liberal accomplishments show this to be true.
I think you forgot to post their faux-graph.
Here's what O'Malley's website says about turning Baltimore around:
O’Malley was elected on a mandate to make Baltimore safer. Under his leadership, Baltimore achieved the steepest reduction in crime of any major city, while bringing homicides below 300 per year for the first time in a decade. O’Malley also expanded services drug treatment, doubling funding and leading the way to a 30% drop in the number of overdose deaths.
Policed the Police
O’Malley’s administration took strong steps to police the police – increasing minority hiring, improving accountability, and fully staffing a civilian review board. Under his leadership, the city reduced police shootings to their lowest level in a decade.
Revitalized Baltimore’s Economy
As crime dropped under O’Malley’s leadership, commercial investment and housing values doubled. O’Malley also improved Baltimore’s schools, taking steps that increased graduation rates by 25% and made impressive gains in student test scores. Under O’Malley, Baltimore’s decades long population slide finally ended.
Restored Fiscal Management
O’Malley brought the city’s budget under control, producing the first surplus in decades, while cutting property taxes to their lowest levels in 30 years. These efforts in “very strong fiscal management” earned Baltimore a bond upgrade from negative to positive.
He also closed the prison in Baltimore with the most abuse.
Also:
Under Governor O’Malley, Maryland drove violent crime down to 30-year lows, incarceration to 20-year lows, and recidivism down by nearly 15%. He signed legislation banning the box for state employment, expanded state partnerships for re-entry programming, and approved a process for automatically expunging criminal records where arrests did not lead to charges.
Decriminalized Marijuana
Governor O’Malley decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, allowing police to focus on addressing serious crimes.
Common Sense Gun Protections
Governor O’Malley made broad, common-sense reforms to reduce gun violence, including implementing a handgun qualification license requiring fingerprint background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a magazine capacity limit.
These are the actions of a progressive, not a centrist. Please also note that these are accomplishments, not pie-in-the-sky proposals. This is what he accomplished.
