Been hearing about this O'Malley guy as possible pres. material.

[Ken Burch]

What can folks who know him tell the rest of us about the guy?

4. This guy sounds pretty damn good to me.

5. He sounds good but...

would have to find out a little more about him. I have been impressed with his progressive stands when I have heard him speak.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

6. I'm a big fan of his....

He has a great progressive record, and would make a great President one day!

[JaneyVee]

7. He plays a mean guitar.

[Kingofalldems]

8. He regularly kicked GOP ass on those taliking head

shows a few years back.

Excellent Governor also.

9. He needs to get some hard questions

about globalism, corporate tax, hedge funds/derivatives, Wall Street accountability, assets deployed against white collar crime, etc.

I must hear the right answers before I endorse anyone.

The only politicians that have consistently come up with the right answers so far are Warren, Sanders, Brown, perhaps (but not totally sold on) Grayson.

Who is that "Rush" dude? Not Limbaugh, the guy from New England. I like what he has been saying.

10. He's got a few weaknesses

That the other side can exploit. Namely the prison scandals and raising taxes, especially the "runoff tax" that people seem to really have their panties in a wad about. The thing about some gang running the prisons and female guards having their babies, plus the uptick in violence in Baltimore, will come back to bite him. Other than that, he's been a great governor.

11. Don't know much about him, but the fact is his hair is not Presidential material.

It would be perfectly fine for most of us, especially in middle age, but it doesn't rise to the level of contemporary Oval Office standards.

[Waiting For Everyman]

12. Our Gov and his band, "O'Malley's March"...

Yes, I think he's been a very good Governor, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he'd be a very good President too. He isn't flashy but he is constructive and innovative. He seems to have a genuine connection to the concerns of everyday people too.

13. I like him.

He would make a great addition to the Dem ticket.
