Ehrlich and Co. must be scared of a little competition.

[Sam Spade]

O'Malley is and still continues to be a craptacular mayor.  And that's saying something since I came from Houston when it was run by the godawful bureaucrat (of Crown Heights fame) Lee Brown.

I think I'm still the only person I know who hasn't been robbed or shot at since I'm moved here.  I still get panhandled by homeless people or crackheads daily. (guess I'm just the wrong color)

If O'Malley runs, I'll vote for Ehrlich in a New York minute.  That is, unless I can get out of here before then. 

Signed,

Resident of inner city Baltimore
(yours truly)

Sam, do you like Ehrlich or would your vote for him be more of an anbody but O'Malley vote?  Would you consider voting for Duncan?

I honestly don't know much about Duncan (my MontCo county politics  knowledge is sort of slim).  I was not in Maryland when Ehrlich won in 2002, though chances are I would have voted for him then(I also don't like Kennedys or the Kennedy clan).

I like Ehrlich, so that means it's not an anybody-but-O'Malley vote, but I would consider voting for another candidate (Duncan or another Dem) if I thought he was better.  I will not vote for O'Malley because I despise him.

Truthfully, there are very few candidates who I will ever give my vote to without reservations.  I often like to examine all candidates, then separate the "wheat from the chaff" for me.

Of course, there are some candidates I will never vote for because I know them and I don't trust them.  O'Malley is one of those people.
