Given His Horrible Fiscal Record, How Can Martin O'Malley Hope to Win?

[mikegriffith1]

Given the fiscal train wreck that Martin O'Malley caused and left behind as governor of Maryland, how in the world does he hope to win in the general election? He has a chance in the Democratic primary, because there are plenty of Democrats who do not care if a candidate did a terrible fiscal job as governor. But the general election would be a different story.

Despite O'Malley's false claims about "fiscal responsibility," he hiked spending by over $10 billion in four years and pushed through an enormous tax increase.

O'Malley's handling of the state's finances was so bad that his hand-picked successor, who was also his lieutenant governor, Anthony Brown, was defeated by political newcomer Larry Hogan, even though the Democrats spent a huge amount of money to help Brown and even though Bill Clinton and other Dem heavyweights campaigned heavily for Brown.

The ego of a professional politician is a wonder to behold.

Who?

Tell a lie.
Tell several more lies.
Repeat the lies.
Repeat them louder.

Repeat the above as necessary.

Tried and true liberal tactic.

Rainwater O'Malley rounds out the clown car that the Democrats have become. You've got one old lying woman with a 40 year history of ethics problems, one very old socialist,a nd one younger guy who destroyed the economy of his state.
To Democrats these are virtues.

I seriously doubt he intends to win. As a past and present supporter of the Clinton's, he provides token opposition and hopes to get a high government post if Hillary wins.
