Bob Ehrlich was up here in Frederick today and I got to go see him! What a great guy! I hate to gush about a politician but he and his wife both were really something. I got to shake hands with both of them, spoke very briefly to Bob and actually chatted with Kendel Ehrlich for a minute. They look you in the eye, unlike some of these guys who look around while giving you a perfunctory handshake. The wife is a doll-baby - warm smile, air of friendliness about her. When she laughs, she puts out a hand and touches you on the shoulder or arm. Just a little contact but it made a big impression on me - tells me something about her.
It so happens that Bob Ehrlich's mother works with my ex-wife so I introduced myself to her and hung out with her during the speech - nice, nice woman!
Ehrlich comes across as very relaxed, very personable, good sense of humor and rather self-deprecating. He's familiar in that he doesn't act like a candidate for office - he talks to the crowd and you personally like he's your neighbor or something and you're sitting on the deck with a couple of beers. None of this raving and politickin', like some of the candidates do.
I think it makes a big difference when you meet a candidate in person as opposed to just seeing them on TV or reading about them. You get a better feel. They all say the same thing but it takes meeting them live to really get a feel for what kind of person they are.
I was going to vote for him anyway but now I can legitimately vote for HIM instead of just vote AGAINST KKT. The Ehrlichs are MARYLANDERS - you'd recognize them in a minute.
