Ehrlich and his administration=failure

[smcdem]

First Govenor in MD history to have a cabinet member not confirmed, failed leadership on the slots issue, alienates the General Assembly, unloyal Lt. Govenor, looks like ol bobby will have a short rough 4 years in Annapolis.

He's been in office less than 100 days - and already a failure? Geez, even Clinton got a better break (anyone remember, don't ask, don't tell? health care?).

So many years of democrat control can skew one's definitions of "success" and "failure"

Narrow minded, bitter Maryland Democratic politicians are PO'ed that they have lost some of their power. They will do whatever it takes to punish the voters for voting in a Republican Governor. They are not only bashing Ehrlich but punishing us for not continuing to follow them like a herd of sheep. I'll bet one of them will be trying to up our sales tax to 6% pretty soon.

Man he has been in power a full two months and hasnt solved all of Marylands problems...what a looser.

Course what do you expect from someone that says Paris Glendening was Marylands greatest govenor.

Ehrlich is using this whole mandate thing wrong. In Georgia the FIRST Republican govenor in the state's history isn't using this whole mandate deal like Ehrlich is. Ehrlich now realizes that his silly slots program won't work and has now cut back the % of the profits that would go to education. I'm sad this state took a gamble in him in the first place.

Silly slots program?? Have you checked how much a resident of Delaware pays in taxes?

SMCDEM said that a couple months ago.

No I said Parris was the best Environmental Govenor.

Ehrlich has not made the transition from legislator to executive yet. My problems with the governor so far are that he has no clue about how to deal with the general assembly. I don't care what party one is, when the legislature is 2/3 opposition, you have to compromise to get things done. Instead he says "you have to pass my slots legistlation because well I won by three percentage points." And then he proceeds to not even articulate a plan until midway through the session. Then he introduces one, pulls it, and reintroduces a bill that makes the track owner cut more than education's cut. He is making far too many enemies and now that he has turned back on his campaign promise to not increase taxes, conservatives will be having serious troubles.

Yes, so far the governor has failed to exercise his potential for leadership. He is still in the mindset of a congressman that represents his home district. Now he is on a much broader stage and he needs to act like that.
