O'Malley plays for tips on Wall Street
September 10, 2015 * By Jesse Byrnes * The Hill

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley is seen in a new video wearing pedestrian clothes and playing acoustic guitar for tips on Wall Street.

"Excuse me," says O'Malley in the IJReview video, navigating a crowd this week in New York while clad in jeans and a black shirt from the Baltimore-based Under Armour.

The former Maryland governor unpacks his guitar case, adorned with "#WeNeedDebate" stickers, and strums Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."

2. +1. LOL. n/t

3. Best ad I've seen from a presidential candidate.

Yet O'Malley can't seem to gain any traction and doesn't even have the support of folks in his home state, which is sort of a nail in the coffin.

4. Yah. Bernie got way out in front of him early on

or it might have been a different story. I like O'Malley alright, tho
I think he'd have a lot of the same problems Obama's had, taking
the first 3-4 years to learn ins-and-outs of how shit gets done in
DC.

5. He's already served as a legislator AND a chief executive,

mayor and governor; he KNOWS how things get done.

9. That's cool.

I know he's been a mayor and a governor.

my comment was in regard to how things work,
or don't work, inside DC beltway, not state & local offices

Many attribute Carters slow start in DC to this factor.

11. Don't believe that "no support in his home state" meme. That's BS from Hogan

and Michael Steel. O'Malley will do well in Maryland.

8. That's pretty awesome.

Hat tip to O'M
