Maybe Hoyer will retire and enter into the Gov. race as well. Just think, when Erlich wins his second term, we would have then taken two liberal Dems out of politics here in Maryland....
...wait a minute, I just woke up from my dream.
Erlich doesn't stand a chance at getting elected for a second term, IMO. I think everyone is looking at him as being someone who isn't able to get anything done. I personally don't think this is a fair assessment. He put all of his eggs in the "slots" basket and since the Dems are against him on everything, this has stalled all of his efforts on any and everything. It wasn't until he drew a connection between funding the school/education budget with slot proceeds that the Dems even began looking at the slots in a positive light...
Me, I think slots are no problem. You can already go and waste all your money playing Keno, lottery and instant scratch lottery, so why not keep the slot money here in the State, since it seems to be leaving to gambling in Del. and WV?
With regard to second amend supporters siding w/ Erlich, I think that since he hasn't done anything on the front of getting things improved here in MD he might loose some support. But on the flip side, if Kennedy was gov, we'd be lucky to still have any firearms...
