8. Why is it so hard...

for some people to admit that O'Malley really accomplished all this stuff and MORE?

This group alone has posted hundreds of O'Malley's progressive achievements and awards (from the NEA and many others) for his conduct as mayor and governor. Yet some on GD act as if he is a centrist or "moderate" who only pretends to be or talks like a progressive. Some simply choose to ignore factual information and rely instead on a TV fictional account of a fictional mayor. Or they retrieve talking points cooked up by Ehrlich or Hogan. Some even claim he is working for Hillary.

O'Malley is a candidate committed to progressive changes in America -- many of which he already brought about in the state of Maryland. He has a record as a fighter for progressive values. And he was there today for the celebration:

I am confident that, when and if the smoke clears, O'Malley will be standing there, recognized for who he really is. Not a god. Just a human being. Made mistakes, but learned from them. Has a resume as governor that ought to shame Walker and Jindal. When character is good, all else follows.
