After the election you had all of the usual suspects in the MD Democrat party rushing out to say that Ehrlich owed his victory to Democrats which was total BS. If Democrats had come out and voted for Ehrlich in any numbers his margin of victory would have been higher than it was. If the Democrats were right, that would mean that many of that record number of Republicans voted for KKT, which wasn't very likely.
So there you have Ehrlich cowtowing to the Democrats, and not pushing for any of the things he camapigned on, like repealing gun control laws, and getting railroaded by Dems because he thinks they're going to support him. What a putz!
O'Malley is in office because Republicans were so disappointed in the lackluster performance of Ehrlich that they stayed home rather than turn out the way they did when they put Ehrlich in office. |
What you say makes sense, but look at things from my point of view...
Across the board a lot of republicans lost their post or lost close elections. Bush is getting a lot of mixed reviews, even from those who he has supported-democrat and republican as well. You have to think that there are a lot of fence sitters who didn't vote republican because of Bush.
