I met Martin O'Malley last summer..he is the Real Deal

when he visited Iowa to campaign for Jack Hatch who was running as the Democratic candidate for governor.. I had never really heard that much about him before, though my son now lives in Baltimore to go to school. He was so clear on issues. I will happily support who ever gets the Democratic nomination. We just have better people. Better on the issues. Period. But I will happily work for O'Malley if he decides to get into the race..

It's really good to hear from someone who had direct experience with him.

I was so impressed with him... I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes, and asked him point blank if he was in any way shape for or fashion considering running.. and if he was I would gladly help out how ever much I could.

I don't think others are better on the issues. He's getting into the race, 'declaring' on May 30, in Baltimore.

See the pinned posts, re: him on issues.
