There’s a Republican primary field, with about a dozen candidates, all of whom are widely ranging political experience and political views. The Democratic field has only three candidates. Clinton is leading the pack with 54.5% of votes, and passionate Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has about 33.5% of the vote. The third Democratic candidate is Governor Martin O’Malley, which has about 2.8% of the vote.
O’Malley was governor of Maryland, and before that, the mayor of Baltimore. As mayor, O’Malley found great success with a program called CitiStat, who helped track crime, saving about $ 350 million for the city. Among his other achievements, O’Malley received praise from Esquire, Time, and Business Week, marked as “Best youngest mayor in the country,” in the “Top 5 Large Mayor,” and “The rising star in the Democratic Party.” As governor, O ‘Malley instituted a similar program for CitiStat-StateStat. O’Malley signed a bill that banned the death penalty, gun control is energized closed “known violent” prison and allowed same-sex marriages. He was chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, as well as the lead singer in March O’Malley Celtic rock band .
So why not O’Malley 2016 general outcry?
O’Malley did not get much media attention, its name recognition is around 4%, compared with 95% of Clinton. Some liberals believe that the governor does not have enough strong resume. Secretary of State Clinton is very well established in the political field, first as an active first lady, then as a senator, and finally as secretary of state. Regardless of your political leanings, you can not deny his campaign and foreign policy experience. Or consider Sanders, who has been in politics since 1970. Mayor O’Malley of Baltimore ship can be painful, and his city recently in the news citizens shocks. While O’Malley says he reduced violent crime by 37%, many people doubt this statistic. Its better than 2%, according to Gallup.
