Not that I would ever consider voting for him, but I used to have at least a little bit of respect for O'Malley. No more. He has proven himself to be just another ultra-liberal Democratic Party hack. His latest has been to whine about not getting enough money from the state and/or federal government.
OTOH, Gov. Ehrlich may be on his way up. I just hope the Dems do not manage to connect him to the last VP from Maryland in voters' minds.
Don't mess with Anne Arundel. Were Republicans over here.
We are Republicans. How about that English. :)
He has zero chance of winning the race for governor.For two big reasons,
(1) Ehrlich, the current governor, has come out publicly against illegals and the people who support them. Even a lot of hard core liberals will be voting Ehrlich back in.
(2)O'Mally has come out in support of illegals, so much so that he offered a $3000.00 bonus to any Hispanic(we know what he means) who moves into the city. And he has told his police force not to enforce any immigration laws.
I used to frequent quite a few places in the City, but now I make it a point never to buy anything in the city as long as this clown is Mayor.
Phillips crab cakes are made with crabs from Thailand and other Asian countries. They haven't used Blue Crabs for years.
In fact they were sued because the package claimed that they were Maryland Crab Cakes. They had to change the packaging.
Oh, puh-leeze! Newbie, are you sure you're on the right board? Maybe you belong over at LP.
Sorry, I don't have a Baltimore ping list. I just pinged 3 FReepers who, to my knowledge, live somewhat near Baltimore.
I do have a DC Chapter ping list and would be happy to add you to that. Would you like me to add you to the DC ping list?
Sometimes DC Chapter members such as Staytrue and Sauropod, among others, have conducted operations in Baltimore. Adding your name to the DC Chapter list would keep you notified of such actions, as well as our numerous DC area operations. Many FReepers from points north of Columbia, MD attend our DC operations.
As to Baltimore itself, maybe Staytrue and Sauropod or know of a Baltimore list or would like to start one? Or maybe, you, IndependentAmerican, would like to start a Baltimore ping list?
In 2000: Annie gave 89,624 to Gore and 104,209 to Bush.
I made a mistake including Anne Arundel County in my list.
Apology accepted. :)
The three key Dem areas are Prince Georges County, Montgomery County and Baltimore City. The other counties vary from leaning Dem to very heavily Republican.
Have a great time now that it is O'Malley free! It looks like a nice hot weather 4th of July weekend!
I would greatly appreciate being added to DC Chapter Ping List. Thank you.
This distrust of authority must be an Irish thing.
I would venture to say that Howard County is democratic. I will not forget the days leading up to the war all of the Hippies parked in the BMW's, Mercedes and Audi's at the Columbia Mall holding signs protesting the war. I guess I should have known by all of the rules Columbia has about owning property. Doors, window blinds, have to be a certain color etc etc.
Baltimore,
Charles,
Howard,
Montgomery,
Prince Georges,
Somerset (maybe they were crabby that day eh?), and
Baltimore City
The bottom line is this: Maryland's office of tourism has in the past called Maryland "America in Miniature." That slogan is reflected in its voting behavior just as well as its culture and geography.
I love Maryland - the bay, the beach, and the mountains. I hate the part in between.
Martin is now more worried about Bill Cosby than President Bush.
>> Try visiting the Inner Harbor with their ridiculous parking fees. Fees to Park at the Harbor has increased by 100% within the last year.
I usually park in Fell's Point and take the water taxi to the inner harbor. Very cool - but it also puts me back in Fell's Point next to one of the best blues bar in the city - Cat's Eye Pub.
