As a native of Maryland, I can say that state residents I speak to regularly liked O’Malley well enough as governor. He’s no longer eligible to run for governor because of term limits. But even in Maryland, O’Malley is only polling in the low single digits in the presidential race. Now that he’s on his way out of that race, I’m not sure whether we’ll see him campaign for president in the future or simply chalk this up as a great one-time adventure. A veep spot seems unlikely.
