FILE - In this Jan. 16, 2016 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley rolls up his shirt sleeve while he speaks in Charleston, S.C. In Iowa’s leadoff presidential caucuses, O’Malley could finally be a player. That’s probably not because of any hidden depths of support for the low-polling former Maryland governor. Rather, the quirks of the Iowa process mean that candidates must have a minimum level of support in each of the state’s nearly 1,700 voting precincts. If O’Malley backers can’t reach the threshold they will have to select another candidate. (AP Photo/Mic Smith, File) (AP)

O'Malley advises against "silence"
