Political dig aimed at children

Was this really necessary?

Quote:

Walking became the State Exercise of Maryland on October 1, 2008. Maryland holds the honors as first state in the nation to designate a state exercise thanks to the efforts of Delegate Bill Bronrott, D-Montgomery. The delegate first introduced the bill in 2003 after receiving a suggestion from East Silver Spring Elementary School student Will Smith which passed only to be vetoed by then-Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

I know politics is behind a lot of these state symbols (I mean really, someone at the Olney theater must have had something on some politician to be named the "State Summer Theater"

), but did they really have to make Ehrlich look like the bad guy for rejecting the idea of some little elementary school child?

A state exercise???

That is ridiculous. Good for Ehrlich vetoing that nonsense.

Ehrlich will have my vote if he decides to run against O'Malley.

Love to see them make a bi-partisan ticket with Johnny Wood as Lt. Governor.

LOL Wont happen, but I wish we had more politicians like Johnny.

Isn't the "squat thrust" the official state exercise of Nevada?
