I like Martin O’Malley. He’s a progressive, he’s a leader and he’s generally on the side of the angels:
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) told the Washington Post he is moving ahead with preparations for a possible presidential bid and can’t wait for Hillary Clinton to decide whether she is running.
Said O’Malley: “I have a great deal of respect for Hillary Clinton. But for my own part, I have a responsibility to prepare and to address the things that I feel a responsibility to address… To squander this important period of preparation because of horse-race concerns and handicapping concerns is just not a very productive use of energy… Right now, I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing — the thought work and the preparation work.”

O’Malley is either the biggest fool in the history of mankind or he’s being well paid to pretend to be a serious candidate for the presidency. Hillary will be the next president. So sayest the 1%. We don’t even have to vote. The computer machines will take care of the outcome. The oligarchy does have one tiny problem though. They were counting on Christie to add legitimacy to the process. Now that Christie is toast the 1% is flailing around trying to find another knave to take his place. But bags full of money given to the right clown will solve that problem. And the appearance of democracy will be restored to the Kingdom. Suckers.
