Paul Sarbanes, MD (if he retires, Michael Steele will definitely run)
LOL. The GOP took back the governorship in 2002 for 2 reasons, A) Ehrlich ran a good campaign and Townsend didn't, and B) Glendening had some problems. Steele was not one of the reasons. We have two good candidates ready for Governor, or possibly Senate, in 2006. Martin O'Malley, Mayor of Baltimore (who got 88% for re-election last week) and Prince George's County Executive, Doug Duncan. If they both run for governor, keep in mind we have 6 representives who could move up. That is all assuming Sarbanes doesn't run again; there are some pretty old people in the capitol.
