Bernie Sanders threatens to crowd out Martin O’Malley
Read the full story here:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is moving fast to corner the market for a firebrand liberal alternative to Hillary Clinton in 2016 — complicating life for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.
O’Malley would like to position himself to the left of Clinton and capitalize on a perceived unease about the former secretary of State among progressives.His problem is that Sanders is already on the battlefield and advancing.“Sanders has energy and excitement,” said New York-based Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf. “O’Malley is late to the dance.”
Even Democratic insiders skeptical of the Vermont senator acknowledge he has gotten off to a solid start in his campaign.“I think with this beginning, he seems to be engendering support and good reviews from some of the people on the left of the Democratic Party,” said strategist Jamal Simmons. “We’ll see how it progresses.”
