perfect candidate
Hogan was a good candidate, but he was assisted by Brown being an absolutely HORRIBLE candidate. Reminds me of when Ehrlich won against a horrible candidate in Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. The only way a Republican can win an election in MD is if the Dems put up someone completely awful.
That being said...O’Malley was awful and everything said in this article is true. I’d bet if he were able to run again against Hogan, though, he would have won.
What O’Malley did to Baltimore, he did to Maryland. Now he wants to do the same to the rest of the country.
Let’s see who do the Democrats have for 2016 so far:
Hillary Clinton
Joe Biden
Elizabeth Warren
Martin O’Malley
Andrew Cuomo
Jim Webb
(perhaps even Al Gore)
Looks like a sorry bunch to me...
For those who might think this is an exaggeration, its not. Excessive taxes are even driving liberals out of the state. I know this firsthand.
The country is already in deep trouble. If O'Malley becomes president, brace for the highest taxes you've ever imagined.
Maryland was already a mess, but its amazing how O’Malley made it even worse. A record amount of business and jobs fled the state.
For liberals that is a massive success!
He is a creative guy, figured out a way to tax rain.
Hogan won’t be able to turn the state around. Its totally controlled by Dems. If you love high taxes, excessive regulation, and all things liberal, move to Maryland. There are plenty of homes for sale because everyone else is moving out. Voting with their feet, as it were.
I can’t believe they haven’t started to groom that commie Castro from Texas yet. I thought he would be the Latin Obama for the Dims.
He also boosted the tax on liquor by a whopping 50%! So Joe Sixpack now has to pay more for his weekend beer.
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for O’Malleee
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should six per cent appear too small
Be thankful O’Malleee don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If republicans and conservatives do not soon get their heads around the Glass/Steagal vs. Cromnibus issue (the law we needed vs the law we got), Martin O'Malley could very easily be our next president.
GLass/Steagal is not a left/right or Democrat/GOP issue, it's more like a right/wrong issue, i.e. there's only one right side of it. The issue is capable of swamping all other issues in a 2016 election and, so far, O'Malley is the only guy in the picture who acts like he understands it.
They may be planning for Castro to be the first Hispanic president after the first Female president.
I wouldn’t rule out O’Malley’s chances. There are no longer any standards for electing a president. Its gotten down to a liar’s contest. The one with the tallest tales wins!
The Rain Man!
Oh sadly I agree on that. You can be a lying, complete failure, if your a democrap and the media will lie for 8 years to to keep you in office.
O’Malley is the WHITE Obama
Yep.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
