In reply to the discussion: So O'Malley shows up from nowhere. Why? [View all]RiverLover

is pretty ingenious.
Thanks for sharing the MoJo article. It led me to this Mar 3 article on what's going on now with the new legislature in MD.
Looks like the only bills up are to Ban Fracking. In no small part to Gov O'Malley's regulations too, because they make it difficult for oil cos to even try anyways. At least that's the gist of what I got from the recent MD article~

He's definitely HUGELY better than Hillary in this regard, seeing as how as SOS, she "sold fracking to the world."
Thanks for setting us straight. O'Malley isn't perfect, but we're not going to find the perfect candidate.

The fracking complaints are total BS. O'Malley allowed zero fracking as Governor.

I think this is the strategy. Let's say that Sen Sanders ran against HRC with just the two of them.
