Admiral Loinpresser's JournalMartin O'Malley 2016-- A shoutout to liberals.
Al Gore and Elizabeth Warren are both extremely unlikely to run. Bernie Sanders is, unfortunately, unelectable. So that left me looking for someone with a liberal record and policy positions, but also somebody who is electable. The only one who fits that description and is interested in running is Martin O'Malley.
It was during his second term that O'Malley stacked up a list of progressive accomplishments that would make any liberal Democrat jealous: ending the death penalty in Maryland, raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, implementing stricter gun control laws, legalizing gay marriage and giving in-state tuition to the children of immigrants in the U.S. illegally. The latter two policies survived a statewide referendum in 2012.
His current name recognition is probably only around 1%, but it's very early. We could help change that.
