Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley signaled here Saturday that Wall Street regulation would be a major issue in his potential presidential bid, urging Democrats to fight for their principles on that and other defining issues.

“If a bank is too big to fail without harming the common good of our nation, then it’s too big and we must break it up before it breaks us,” O’Malley said in an address to about 300 Democrats gathered here for an annual “Issues Summit.”

His remarks, warmly received by an audience in an early presidential nominating state, come as O’Malley weighs a long-shot bid for the 2016 Democratic nomination. He is widely expected to try to run to the left of Hillary Rodham Clinton if both move forward...

WELL, IF ELIZABETH WON'T, O'MALLEY MIGHT BE THE TICKET...
