Martin O'Malley seen as possible 2016 candidate for president.

Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, a possible candidate, traveled to South Carolina for its primary two weeks ago to give interviews criticizing Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner. Andrew M. Cuomo, the New York governor, had a successful first year by going to the left on same-sex marriage and to the center on the budget. The candidate looming above all others is Hillary Rodham Clinton, who would instantaneously become the front-runner if she entered the race but who says she is retiring from public life when she steps down as secretary of state at the end of Mr. Obama’s current term. Democratic strategists and fund-raisers are divided over how seriously to take that vow.

but frankly, I think its premature to be discussing Warren for 2016.

Let's wait and see how she does in the Senate...assuming she defeats the Brown.



OTOH, O'Malley has a track record that we can look at.



Full Disclosure: O'Malley is my govenor.
