Baltimore’s poorer neighborhoods have been dealing with Martin O’Malley for years and years, as I can recall from when I worked in ACORN’s national office and heard all about the trouble this man was from our Maryland chapter. O’Malley, once mayor of Baltimore and now governor of Maryland, may run for president of the United States on a what’s-left-of-the-left-wing-of-the-Democratic-Party
