This is cool - O'Malley gives keynote at ESRI conference
http://www.pe.com/articles/esri-773871-malley-conference.html
O'Malley Monday address echoed ideas presented earlier by Esri founder and president Jack Dangermound, who said the world is entering a geographic Age of Enlightenment, or geoenlightenment, in which maps and data are combined in dynamic ways to show people how to improve their world. O,Malley is a former mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland and used GIS in his administrations to identify problem areas that required government services. He is a Democratic presidential candidate and used the occasion to present his vision of what federal government should be, collaborative in the way the Internet is. He also said there is an imperative to deal with climate change. "Climate change is the biggest economic and business opportunity to come to the United States in100 years," he said.

MH1 guessed that O'Malley's invitation to keynote this conference was due to his use of GIS in the Maryland StateStat system.

(17,635 posts)I don't know if he'll get traction in this campaign, or if his intelligent, organized approach will woo enough voters. The electorate, in my experience, tends to be somewhat less than appreciative of "intelligent and organized".
But I certainly hope he will be in a leadership role in the party and even the next president's administration. Maybe even veep. Or maybe the electorate will far exceed my expectations and elect him.
