6. I heard he's made some mistakes as Baltimore mayor, but running that city is very difficult

Baltimore has a totally different set of issues and very, very difficult and complex set of problems to grapple with. Stephanie is realizing this. I used to work for Pete Rawlings (RIP). Because there is so much corruption and insider politics, you have to run that city with an iron fist. There are still so many problems, far too complex to address by one mayor in one or two terms. I think O'Malley has redeemed himself as governor. All those mistakes he made as mayor, he has realized as governor can be rectified when we works well with others. Put it this way: he is no Parris Glendenning and certainly no Bob Ehrlich. And thank God for that.
