The conventional wisdom so far has been that former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has no path to the White House let alone the Democrat nomination. He barely registers in the polls and even many Marylanders would have a difficult time picking him out of a police lineup. Things are changing however.
There is a real possibility that Hillary Clinton may be indicted for failing to properly protect classified information which would make it impossible for her to be the Democrat nominee. The next in line, Senator Bernie Sanders, though polling well, is not electable. Americans will not elect a socialist as president. The longer the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton takes, the less likely another Democrat such as Joe Biden (there is also talk about former NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg entering the race. James Webb is another possibility since he has already filed the paperwork. He would just have to restart his campaign) will be able to enter the race. Suddenly O'Malley has a real path - like a running back following a huge blocking fullback.
If O'Malley saw this scenario developing in his head, that makes him one savvy politician.
