(59,025 posts)I don't know much else about him, though. I read through most of your link, and was amused to see that he majored in Public Policy and got a law degree--mirrors my younger daughter, though my wife is a German citizen and a social worker--not exactly eligible for the CIA even if she had wanted (she would have gone back to the farm before she would have considered that).
I also don't know to what degree he inspires as a campaigner--an unfortunate must in our media-obsessed times. This is one field where O'Malley is faulted, though I haven't seen him speak. Unfair as it is, O'Malley performing lively Irish folk music along the campaign trail would be a huge draw for him.
Van Hollen could indeed be a possibility, though he'd have to give up all thoughts of Mikulski's Senate seat if he did. His background DOES, as you say, fit with our times. So did Al Gore's 15 years ago, so it's not a lock.
