O'Malley rallies the troops at Conway Democratic headquarters

CONWAY – Martin O'Malley, erstwhile presidential candidate and current evangelist for the woman who forced him out of the Democratic race, spoke with fervor Thursday afternoon at the freshly opened Democratic campaign headquarters in Conway.

Running about 20 minutes late for his advertised 3 p.m. appearance to rally the Carroll County troops, the 53-year-old O'Malley – his close-cropped hair appearing grayer than when last he visited approximately a year ago – spoke at length and with conviction to the 20 or so people in attendance.

He was introduced by state Rep. Tom Buco (D-Conway), who reminded O'Malley that he was in Carroll County, N.H., not Carroll County, Md.

Thus prompted, O'Malley opened his remarks with an anecdote about his uphill battle for the governorship of Maryland back in 2006.
