This dude got a presidential look about him and he's a little more left leaning than Hillary. Plus he's not tarnished by the Clinton name in the sense that he's simply a fresh face.lank
- Why He Will Win
Mrs. Clinton appears to have a hold on the party's base of black and Hispanic voters, and she is leading with women. But Democratic voters so far are less enthusiastic, broadly speaking, than Republicans about 2016. Mr. O'Malley, a fresh face on the national stage, could be a viable, credible second option — and a sunnier and more youthful presence than Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont — should Mrs. Clinton fail to generate excitement, or if her campaign runs into serious trouble.
- Why He Won't
Though he is running hard to the left, Mr. O’Malley has a long history as a Clinton supporter and a member of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, meaning the authenticity of his attempts to contrast himself with Mrs. Clinton could be called into question. And he has serious competition for support of the party’s liberal wing from Mr. Sanders, a veteran advocate of progressive economic causes. Mr. O'Malley has also shown little inclination to challenge Mrs. Clinton directly so far; it may be difficult for him to raise his profile until he does.
I love Bernie, but this dude might have a more realistic shot. If he does well in Iowa I'll jump on the band wagon
