2016: I'm giving a lot of thought to supporting Gov. Martin O'Malley of MD

[WI_DEM]

if he should run--he seems to be exploring it. I find him to have been a good governor and pretty liberal. I'm especially supportive of his stand on Capital punishment--signing a bill to repeal the death penalty in Maryland. He also signed the bill supporting same-sex marriage in Maryland and on immigration signed a bill which would make the children of undocumented immigrants eligible for in-state college tuition. I haven't made up my mind on 2016 at all, but am hoping that it will be a strong field of good candidates.

1. At least he's actively and consciously holding his mouth closed...

...no doubt stifling the urge to have his Dean Scream moment in that pic.

So far, I like him and will give him a better look, that is until Elizabeth Warren announces.

2. Does he support Obama's failed education policies? If not he has my full support.

7. NEA named Maryland’s Martin O’Malley ‘America’s Greatest Education Governor’

. . . in 2010; 2 years earlier they were opposing the Obama administration's race to the top proposals.

3. We have a LOT of good people to choose from

I am waiting till after 2014 elections to even start thinking about who I will throw my support behind in the primaries.. but I will most definitely look at him if decides to run..

5. Can you share your short list please? Because the cupboard looks kinda bare to me. n/t

4. We could do far worse n/t

6. I really like him and he doesn't come with 30 years of pre-fab demonization on his back

like Hillary.

8. I've been eyeing him as well.

I hope he does run. I'd really like a strong field to choose from, and I don't want to be told, nor do I believe, that our only choice of a nominee is inevitable. (I won't name names...)

9. Yes, but are you familiar with his Irish wild side?

Seriously, I admire the man. He is my governor, and I would love to see him run.
