I went Saturday and voted a straight Democratic ticket. I was so upset to see this guy's face back on my television, lying about O'Malley, if I had gone out to start the car and it would not have started, I would have jogged over to the early voting place in College Park (and I don't jog).
But the good part came Saturday evening. The Ehrlich commercials came fast and furiously every thirty minutes -- the same commercial, accusing O'Malley of the high unemployment in Maryland and the lack of ability to create jobs (it is all O'Malley's fault, right). By that time, I had heard Maryland was one of four states that had an incredible early vote turnout, and it seemed to be to the Democrats advantage. With that knowledge in my hand, I started laughing every time Ehrlich appeared on the set thereafter. He was throwing his money down the tube, literally, and he had had very poor fund raising.
Ehrlich is also responsible for giving Michael Steele a leg up into national prominence. He selected him to run as his number two. Steele was an idiot then, and he is an idiot now with even more national prominence because of Ehrlich. Although O'Malley is not perfect, he is not quite as far from it as is Ehrlich. Goodbye, Bob Ehrlich, I wish I could say I hardly knew you, but unfortunately, I can't. With any luck, however, I will not be getting to know you better in the coming years.
