AP Photo Pro-Clinton super PAC gives up following O'Malley

Correct The Record — the opposition research-focused super PAC backing Hillary Clinton — has decided to stop paying attention to Martin O’Malley.

The group, founded by Clinton ally David Brock, had staffers following the longshot Democratic candidate with video cameras as he campaigned since the summer, waiting for slip-ups, and it had been monitoring news stories about him.


No longer, according to a person close to the group.

The former Maryland governor — who has been hovering around 1 percent in national polling both before and after the first Democratic debate last week — has worked to push the party to add more such events, to no avail.

He told reporters after the Las Vegas confab that voters would now know that there are more than two people in the Democratic race, referring to Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and he has since been on a national media blitz — appearing on The Daily Show on Monday night and The View (where he sang a Taylor Swift song) on Tuesday.

O’Malley has recently been sharpening his critique of Clinton in public after refusing to go after her for the first few months of his campaign. His team on Tuesday did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
