No one should be looking forward to debating O'Malley.
O'Malley is the future of the Democratic Party. Everyone knows it including Obama and Hillary. O'Malley should have been the nominee in 2008. We need a bright individual with a strong family to run this country.
And how is this for a bio?
Martin O'Malley was born on January 18, 1963, in Washington, D.C. the child of Barbara (née Suelzer) and Thomas Martin O'Malley.Martin attended the Our Lady of Lourdes School in Bethesda and Gonzaga College High School. He went on to The Catholic University of America, graduating in 1985. Later that year he enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Law, earning his Juris Doctor in 1988 and passing the bar that same year.
Martin's father, Thomas O'Malley, served as a bombardier in the U.S. Army Air Force in the Pacific theater during the Second World War, and said he witnessed the mushroom cloud rise over Hiroshima while on a routine mission. Thomas later became a Montgomery County-based criminal defense lawyer, and an assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. O'Malley is of Irish, German and Dutch descent. He is a descendant of a War of 1812 veteran, and is an active member of the General Society of the War of 1812.
That he is a Catholic will peel most of them (e.g., Catholics) off from the radical right wing religious fanatics. He has great appeal to the young voter who is looking to move this country forward. His positions on immigration, guns, marriage and the climate change make him the ideal candidate.
