Whoa. No wonder I never go to Baltimore.

[Warren DeMontague]

Sorry, but this guy's a bit of a doof. No offense, Baltimorians.

[fdr_hst_fan]

1. What guy?

[w13rd0]

I just popped in to see if anyone mentioned him...

..."Mommy, that man kind of scares me."

[faithnotgreed]

agree completely...

[name not needed]

2. Yeah.

He's not exactly the sharptest knife in the drawer.

[johnnie]

3. I thought he was pretty good

Seemed to be preaching it old style, but passionate too.

[BayouBengal07]

8. He sounded

Like an old fashioned preacher, how his voice would tremble as he would shout.

[sandnsea]

4. Yeah, he sucked

lol. Had to say it dancingbear. (I didn't like him much either, but to each his own)

[fameless]

5. He had no rhythm or flow to his speech.

The speech itself was fine. It just didn't flow.

[shawmut]

6. I missed it ... who was speaking? eom

[sbj405]

12. Martin O'Malley, Baltimore mayor

I thought he did a pretty good job.

[lottie244]

26. I thought at one time he was a 'rising star' in the Dem party.

I heard him before and he great. I guess maybe he was nervous. Needs more time in the spotlight.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. I thought he was trying too hard.

Like an over-zealous little league coach. But I'm not trying to be pissy.

[progressivebydesign]

9. awww.. be nice..

Not everyone is born into public speaking talent. Do you have a video available of yourself, speaking before 5,000+ strangers, and national television cameras? I didn't think so...

okay.. but it's really funny to turn your sound off sometimes and just watch the speakers and their hand movements. That's kinda funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Hey, I just call 'em like I see 'em.

He was not terrible, no. Just weak and a little creepy.

But it certainly draws a sharper focus around the truly great orators we have in the party, many of whom have delivered the goods big time the last couple days.

[never_get_over_it]

10. He had an important message

and I think he did a good job....geeeeeez

[JohnKleeb]

11. oh you should know that Marylanders consider him a future star

and Baltimore kicks ass.

[johnnie]

14. Not to mention he won the race w/ 91% of the vote

Not bad I would guess.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Gavin Newsom has better hair! Nyah!

just kidding. I really wasn't trying to be unduly harsh on the guy. I don't think it was the greatest speech, that's all.

[XanaDUer]

16. Hi John!

:hi:

He wasn't that bad. He is not a great speaker, but he was not that bad.

[JohnKleeb]

18. its a great city though heh

[Chovexani]

19. I'm going there this weekend

Big anime convention. Totally geeking out.

I like the Inner Harbor.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. I break out in psychic hives whenever I'm further east than Chicago...

But that's Just me. :crazy:

[Chovexani]

24. LOL

I feel like that when I go west of NY.

No offense. :)

[aintitfunny]

21. I have heard him speak

and he is a great speaker, but he was a bit off tonight.

[aintitfunny]

17. Martin O'Malley is

a successful young mayor, a talented politician, a charming man and he is indeed a rising star on the Maryland political scene. I remember a young man named Bill Clinton who kinda did not make a good impression his first outing as a speaker at the Convention.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. Hey, I'm not slamming the door on the guy, I just think

the speech had kind of a weird vibe... like the sort of thing I get from the mormons who have the bad judgement to knock on my door at 8:30 AM on sunday morning. Just a lil' strange. Apparently I'm not the only one who felt that way... But, nevertheless, I'm sure the guy is talented and capable.

[aintitfunny]

27. I understand, I saw the speech

and had been looking forward to it. I know he can do better, I have seen it, it was a bit over the top, but you see, I am very fond of him, and he gives me hope for the future. So perhaps I am a little sensitive to the subject.

[JI7]

20. hehhehe, it was kind of weird, but o'malley is still going places

he will be governor or senator one day. i hope those who saw him for the first time today don't judge him based on this appearance alone.

[theboss]

25. I'm not crazy about him but he's our best shot to win back the state house

Baltimore has gotten even more out of control with crimes and drugs since he began his "BELIEVE" campaign. But he's been tapped for bigger things and since Townsend flamed out, Maryland Dems need to re-group.

[teresafan]

28. Martin O'Malley is a major anti-2nd amendment pundit

He needs to back off of his gun banning attitude.
