‘I was hopin’ you wouldn’t ask me that one, Guv’nor. That’s where my case falls completely to the ground’: Byron York reports that ex-Maryland governor Martin O’Malley is enough of a serious challenger to Hillary that the Cinton camp is issuing vague, ominous threats. But how dirty do the Clintons have to play to beat O’Malley? Under his administration, Maryland was supposed to show that a state with a Democratic governor committed to Obamacare could make it work. Instead, he implemented it so badly the state had to give up on its site and start over a year later. People were forced to re-enroll. Seems like he’s a feisty challlenger who can be knocked out with one punch. And we know what the punch is. And he’s leaning into it, running in part on his skill as a “manager.” What am I missing here? …

And let’s not forget O’Malley’s hand-picked successor, Anthony Brown, his lieutenant governor, lost to a Republican in MARYLAND. This came after O’Malley joined him on almost every stump. So if O’Malley runs, maybe he can help the GOP turn NY and CA into red states.
Maybe missing that (a) no Dem primary voter gives a crap anymore about the first wave of failed ACA websites, esp since these included Obama’s own Federal one, and/or (b) H Clinton has no great admin success to tout instead, and/or (c) O’Malley has countervailing policy-implementation successes.
