O'Malley: Democratic Governors Need To Focus On Economy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley says Democratic governors need to focus on "doing the things that work" to improve the economy and not on their political ideology.

O'Malley, a Democrat, appeared on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show Thursday evening, speaking briefly about the difference between Democratic and GOP governors, and highlighting the gay marriage legislation he signed into law last week.

The chairman of the Democratic Governors Association accused Republican governors of failing to focus on economic recovery.

O'Malley also said he believed Marylanders would uphold the gay marriage law, which is expected to be petitioned to referendum on the November ballot.
