O'Malley: Presidency Not "Crown" Between Two Families
Former Maryland governor and Baltimore mayor Martin O'Malley is sounding more like a 2016 Presidential candidate. O’Malley took shots at two likely front-runners during an interview on ABC's This Week, saying the Presidency is "not some crown to be passed between two families,” pointing to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and potential GOP candidate Jeb Bush. O'Malley says he'll decide whether or not he's running for the Democratic nomination this spring. He’s expected to speak in New Hampshire tomorrow at the "Politics & Eggs" forum in Bedford and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College. O'Malley is also scheduled to attend an evening event in Nashua sponsored by the New Hampshire Young Democrats.
