and two, what makes sense for MD regarding gun control is different from what makes sense in VT. VT has a very low rate of gun violence.

In any case, Vermont's minimum wage (and every county is a rural county in Vermont, is $9.15. Maryland's is $8.00. That's a substantial difference.

As for the positions that O'Malley shares with Sanders, Sanders has been much more consistent on them for a much longer period.
