Martin O'Malley Delivers Powerful Campaign Kickoff Speech

Style: Easy on the eyes and ears, optimistic, conversational, and focused. Powered throughout by compelling American dream/working class themes. Tableau of touching introducers and faces on the stage was carefully and well chosen.

Substance: Clarion calls for comprehensive immigration reform and new banking rules. Vague on foreign policy. But suggested additional national goals by talking about his Maryland record.
