There is life after a failed presidential bid, and it involves random appearances and possibly forming a band with other one-time candidates.
Democrat Martin O'Malley and Republican Mike Huckabee, former governors of Maryland and Arkansas, respectively, were in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to discuss the AMC drama TURN: Washington's Spies. It was the first time the duo appeared together, but it's possible it won't be the last — both men are musicians, and O'Malley told ABC News they had talked about "tunes" they could play. Added Huckabee: "If Martin O'Malley and Mike Huckabee can get together on the same stage and come to harmony, that would be historic."
