Crowds Turn Out To See Clinton Challengers Sanders, O’Malley In Iowa
The two Democrats who have formally emerged to challenge Hillary Clinton for their party’s 2016 presidential nomination visited Iowa this weekend. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders attracted overflow crowds in Ames and Davenport, then Sanders capped his three-day trip with a Saturday night stop in Kensett, where more than 300 people greeted him.
“People are extremely frustrated with status quo economics, the greed of the top one percent, establishment politics,” Sanders told reporters on his way into Kensett’s community center. “…People want a movement, to be part of a movement that takes on the billionaire class. Let me be as blunt as I can be: you have a handful of people in this country with enormous economic and political power who are getting it all.”
Sixty-eight-year-old Tom Reid of Northwood was there in Kensett. He is hoping Sanders “yanks” Hillary Clinton “to the left.”

From The 'Rain Tax' To The 'Flush Tax': 40 Times Martin O'Malley Raised Taxes
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley will launch his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination Saturday in Baltimore. During the forthcoming campaign, it will be impossible for O'Malley to escape his past as a fiscal liberal who made higher taxes rain over Maryland.
Maryland was hit by 40 tax hikes costing $9.5 billion during O'Malley's eight years in office, from 2007-14. Tax-weary Marylanders made Republican Larry Hogan governor in 2014, bucking O'Malley's lieutenant governor, Anthony Brown, who was the Democratic candidate. Less-patient Marylanders voted with their feet and simply fled the state: Almost 72,000 people left Maryland from mid-2007 to mid-2014, according to Census Bureau data.

Martin O'Malley 2016 pitch: Youthfulness
Washington (CNN)Martin O'Malley is expected to emphasize his "youthfulness," and a less scripted, more accessible presidential campaign, as a way to help contrast his candidacy with Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination, an O'Malley confidante tells CNN.
"We do think there is a real generational argument to make and that he can seize upon it," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
O'Malley, 52, announced Tuesday on two social media platforms, Snapchat and Twitter, that he would make a "special announcement" on May 30 in Baltimore -- when he is widely believed to formally enter the 2016 contest. Clinton, the former Secretary of State and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders are already in the race for the Democratic nomination.
The former Maryland governor will release a new video Wednesday continuing to tease the May 30 event, according to an early version obtained by CNN. O'Malley's campaign is likely to produce several more similar videos leading up to the announcement.

Bill Clinton On Martin O'Malley In 2014: 'Terrific Governor,' 'Best Run State'
By Jeryl Bier, May 20, 2015, Weekly Standard
As former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley emerges as perhaps the most significant threat to Hillary Clinton in her quest for the Democratic nomination for president, the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation may be trying to downplay O'Malley's connections to the organization. At the annual meeting in June 2014 for the Clinton Global Initiative, O'Malley appeared on stage with Bill Clinton to announce O'Malley's involvement with a project of CGI called the Mid-Atlantic Infrastructure Exchange (MAX). Clinton praised O'Malley as "a terrific governor of Maryland" and noted his education reforms in particular [remarks related to O'Malley begin around 5:00 in the video]:

‘Veep’ Star Endorses O’Malley Over Clinton
Timothy Simons, who plays the obnoxious White House liaison Jonah Ryan on the HBO series “Veep” threw his support behind former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley over Hillary Clinton for president.
“I’m for Martin O’Malley,” he said on the red carpet of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner while he stood next to the potential 2016 candidate.
O’Malley appreciated the endorsement on Saturday but noted that he hasn’t even announced yet.
While the show “Veep” is a D.C.-themed show, focusing on the life of a fictional vice president played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the show mainly films in Maryland. The show began filming in Maryland while O’Malley was governor.

Martin O’Malley Would Have Gary Hart In His Corner
Gary Hart, the presidential hopeful for whom Martin O’Malley toiled more than 30 years ago, plans to support the former Maryland governor if he moves forward with a 2016 White House bid, Hart said Wednesday.
“I’m obliged to, if nothing else, because he supported me,” Hart said in an interview, adding that “it would be helpful to have generational change.”
O’Malley, 52, has said he will decide by the end of next month whether he will challenge Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination. He is 15 years younger than Clinton, the former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady.
“Times change,” said Hart, 78, a former Colorado senator. “The next decade is going to be a different world than the Clinton years.”
[O'Malley's wealthy buddy, literally along for the ride]
O’Malley cut his teeth in politics working in Iowa for Hart’s campaign in advance of the 1984 caucuses. Much like O’Malley, Hart was barely registering in the polls in the early stages of a race in which he was pitted against a formidable frontrunner: Walter Mondale, the former vice president.
After a better-than-expected second place finish in Iowa, Hart went on to win the New Hampshire primary and became the chief rival to Mondale for the Democratic nomination, eventually falling short. (A second Hart presidential bid in 1988 was undermined by scandal.)

Will Hillary Clinton Run For The Democratic Nomination Unopposed?
Linda Feldmann, Jan. 26, 2015, Christian Science Monitor
Martin O’Malley, who just left the governor’s chair in Maryland, has long been preparing to run. But he is holding back. Ditto Vice President Joe Biden, who has long wanted to make a third try for the Oval Office. Last week, he told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos that “there’s a chance” he’ll run, but he’s seen as ready to run only if Clinton doesn't. Jim Webb, a one-term former senator from Virginia, says he’s running, but he’s a long shot.
