Bernie Sanders outpaces O'Malley as Clinton Alternative, sub-headline Martin O'Malley once seemed the most viable alternative (to clinton, I assume.)

Would like to read more, but can't achieve that 'difficult' technical step!

EDIT:

Waiting for Martin O’Malley to arrive for a backyard campaign stop, Chris Henning and some of her friends tried to figure out what office the Democratic presidential candidate once held. Was he the former governor of Maryland or perhaps Virginia? They weren’t sure.

Another Iowan who came out to hear Mr. O’Malley speak was at a loss as to his employment. “He’s from the East Coast,” Rosemary Partridge told a reporter. “Connecticut? I’m trying to guess. He’s a senator.”

At one time, the former Maryland governor seemed the most viable alternative to Hillary Clinton the Democratic Party would produce. Yet he is struggling to get a toehold, while the attention and donations from the party’s liberal wing instead are going to an older, rumpled rival: Bernie Sanders, the 73-year-old senator from Vermont. . .

On the campaign trail, Mr. O’Malley seems to recognize the hurdles he faces. Appearing at a house party in Ames, Iowa, after his visit to Carroll, he told the crowd his name—not something Mrs. Clinton ever needs to do. He ran through the offices he’s held and other bits of biography before drawing contrasts with his rivals.

It seems clear from his stump speech that he wants to eclipse Mr. Sanders as the liberal challenger to Mrs. Clinton. He stresses the parts of his gubernatorial record that would most appeal to the left, telling how he signed legislation imposing stricter gun controls in Maryland, legalizing same-sex marriage and raising the state’s minimum wage.

“I have fearless progressive values,” Mr. O’Malley said in Ames.

He suggests that having enacted such measures he has a level of accomplishment that eludes Mr. Sanders, a legislator working in a polarized Congress. Asked how his brand of liberalism differs from that of Mr. Sanders, Mr. O’Malley told reporters in Carroll: “I’ve actually gotten these things done.”

1. You need to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal

I also have that problem with the Washington Post

2. I wish it were that simple, clydefrand;

THAT problem I could figure out! I do think this a technical prob. I have dealt with that 'subscription' issue in the past.

Just got it! Rest of sub-headline: former Maryland Gov. O’Malley is struggling to get a toehold. Posting more above, editing OP now.
