I'm a liberal progressive, & a newbie, so I didn't know 'til I got to DU that I am supposed to hate

Sec Clinton. I knew there were several votes in the Senate I disapproved of, although I could understand in the context of the time. I knew there were several questions I had, but I didn't know that she was despised as much as Rush Limbaugh or Dick Cheney, so believe me, the past few days have been an eye opener.

So now that the question is, not whether we will support her for president, but if we will deport her or have her dragged to the guillotine, I find myself having to look for another candidate. I love Warren, but she is not running, and I love Bernie, but know that his campaign is means to give a clear voice to progressive policies. As I believe this is a very important election (Ruth Bader Ginsburg cannot sit on the bench forever), I am researching candidates.

As I know very little about Gov. Martin O'Malley, can someone who knows his record tell me why he is a piece of crap who should be spit on and hated by progressive Democrats? I don't want to make another mistake.
