In Iowa, O'Malley Says Of Clinton: You're Inevitable Until You're Not

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)Martin O'Malley told reporters in Iowa on Friday that inevitability -- a term bandied about regarding Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton -- is not unbreakable.

"I've seen it before," the former Governor of Maryland and possible presidential contender said. "History is full of examples where the inevitable frontrunner was inevitable right up until she was no longer or he was no longer inevitable."

Clinton was considered inevitable to win the nomination in 2008 but ended up losing to Barack Obama.

O'Malley had previously dropped the inevitability comment in a television interview last month.
