Does anyone else feel like this about O'Malley?

12. "He accepts his own humanity"

Indeed! This answer seems to me to reveal a strength of character in his modesty, willingness to learn, and desire to serve the public.

This interview is well worth the read. Liberal? Progressive? He's fine with either....

JN: At Netroots Nation, Black Lives Matter activists challenged you on your Baltimore record and demanded specifics on issues of policing and mass incarceration. Did that make you a better candidate?

MO: Well, sure. There’s no progress without adversity, for a people or a person. Even for all of the service I’ve offered, and all of the good things we’ve done in both Baltimore and the state of Maryland, none of us as white people can ever fully appreciate the constant sense of vulnerability that our black neighbors live with in our country. I’m on a constant learning curve. I’m always trying to get better, to deepen my own personal understanding so I can be of greater service.
