Battenfeld: Clinton email scandal may elevate former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley
If you want to know what life without Hillary looks like, drive up to a tiny coffee shop in Concord, N.H., tonight and look for the bland guy speaking awkwardly to a handful of curious customers.
That would be Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland. Chances are you wouldn’t know him if you tripped over him, yet he could become the accidental front-runner if Hillary Clinton’s campaign continues to implode.
Al Gore to Iowa Amid Clinton Scandal
As reporters and members of Congress begin to dig into the Clinton email scandal, former Democratic presidential candidate has announced an upcoming visit to Iowa. He'll be in the important caucus state from May 5-7, as part of a training sessions for the Climate Reality Project, of which he's chairman.
"When it comes to politicians visiting Iowa, I don’t believe in coincidences," one experienced Republican hand says.
"Al Gore, like Hillary Clinton has spent most of his life in politics. Running for office is something that’s in his blood, and he probably thinks that the waters for a potential bid are getting a little, shall we say, warmer."

There’s nobody out there. The ex Virginia Senator Jim Webb is making noise. He’s too conservative for the dems though.
They say Barack is looking for someone like himself, a dark horse to deal with Hillary.
Hillary will win unless something strange happens

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Hillary should have been elected back in 2008. THAT was her time. The dems made a mistake in not putting her in, but instead putting in their 'popular push' candidate (Obama). This time around, if they don't go with Bill Richardson it'll be another mistake. Bill Richardson/Evan Bayh. Any other ticket for the dems (Like Warren, or Hillary, or (eeek) Al Gore, etc) would just be horribly wrong for the country. IMHOAs an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

I hate to say it, but Bayh and Richardson are too moderate. The Democrats have swerved hard left and they may be coming up on their version of a Goldwater moment only from a left perspective. The country can only hope so.

No! Don't vote for O'Malley! I had him for Governor here in Maryland and he sucked something fierce. Let's just say that Carcetti from the show the Wire is based on O'Malley.
O’Malley is every bit as liberal as Elizabeth Warren, but without the rock-star status. Under his leadership, Maryland legalized gay marriage, abolished the death penalty and passed new gun control laws, and of course he’s a big supporter of wind farms.
