Baltimore, here we come!

Baltimore, here we come. Scoop via @ErinatTheSun http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/blog/bal-omalley-secured-office-space-for-potential-presidential-bid-20150514-story.html

Former governor Martin O'Malley on Friday will sign a lease for 7,200 square feet of office space across the street from Baltimore's Penn Station, the latest signal he will launch a presidential bid based in the city…

The historic Railway Express building, formerly a parcel post office, was once was owned by the city and redeveloped under O’Malley’s tenure as Baltimore mayor. It currently houses nonprofits, professional offices, an architecture firm and loft apartments.

The lease, expected to be signed Friday, comes as O'Malley convenes Thursday evening with longtime Maryland staffers and supporters to discuss his imminent political plans…

He has scheduled a May 30 announcement in Baltimore to reveal his political plans. Any potential run for president, he has said, will focus on his tenure in Baltimore.

I hope Sanders haven't sucked up all the non-Hillary support. O'Malley certainly seems like he has a plan in place but waiting this long has some downside.

idea of being a come from behind candidate. I don't think this will really hurt him. I actually think it might help in the long game.
