Watch Martin O’Malley Make $1.74 Singing on Wall Street
Watch Presidential Candidate Martin O’Malley Make $1.74 Singing on Wall Street
TIME
Sept. 10, 2015
....To raise awareness about campaign contributions, the Independent Journal asked former Maryland governor and presidential candidate Martin O’Malley to see how much money he could make singing and playing his guitar on Wall Street.
Dressed in his “everyman” outfit of a t-shirt and jeans, O’Malley sang “This Land is Your Land” outside of the New York Stock Exchange.
After an hour, O’Malley walked away with a $1.74 — and a pack of gummy bears.
O’Malley’s only outright campaigning was limited to a few stickers on his guitar case. He may need more facial recognition if he’s going to do well in the Democratic primary, since few passersby appeared to recognize him.

I saw O'Malley's double last week, and when I told the successful professional he resembled Martin O'Malley, he had no idea who O'Malley was.
He definitely needs more press.

And there will be cabinet level posts for which we don't need to take seated elected Dems like Obama did in 2008.
Ironically, looking like a typecast "President" in an action thriller from central casting is working against him these days. 
Love, love, love his direct confrontation at the DNC. And this. Cool guy.
