Possibly, but I'm skeptical he's that delusional.

He's a fool. But we already knew that.

Is O'Malley actually allowed to run for both Senator and President (or Vice President, respectively)?

I think that he knows what his odds are but feels like somebody has to do it. I also see him as a bit of an opportunist, since he was sounding Warrenesque notes in a recent speech and feel like he might be trying to fill a void similar to how John Edwards rebranded himself as a populist in 08.

I think so, but considering he isn't an incumbent Senator it would be alot of work.

I can't see what he'd have to offer Hillary as VP. Maybe a cabinet post? Or simply raising his profile for 2020 or 24.

On the remote chance that he did somehow pull off an upset and become the Democratic nominee I can already see the Republican signs "NOBAMA NOMALLY!"

He has the same base of black voter support as Hilary does. If she decides not to run, he has a chance, but VP wont be offered, Hilary needs a younger Jim Webb type or a working class Dem at it will be Tom Perez, or Kaine or Hickenlooper

I'm pretty sure she won't pick a Senior Apostle in the Mormon church as Vice President.

Shame, he'd make a fine United States Senator. He must not have a good team in his corner/not be that bright himself. His political future is in the Senate or nowhere.

He could run for governor again in 2018 (Maryland only forbids more than two consecutive terms) or he could run in 2018 for senate if Cardin retires in 2018 (He'll be 74 in 2018, not out of the realm of possibility). But he'll be our next president so all of this is moot.
