Martin O'Malley's father in law is MD Attorney General Joe Curran.

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Montgomery County State's Attorney Doug Gansler said he hasn't decided whether to run for attorney general in 2006, but he's amassed more than $850,000 in campaign money.
The state campaign finance figure dwarfs the war chests of all other possible candidates, including five-term incumbent Joseph Curran, whose spokesman said he has about $35,000 on hand. Curran said he plans to run for a sixth term, but he's spending his time on his job.
State officials said Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey has almost $15,000 in his campaign treasury, and Montgomery County Council President Tom Perez has about $7,600."

Curran's going to have his hands full investigating "dirty tricks" and fighting for his job.

Has anyone been able to establish when this rumor first surfaced? What was O'Malley doing prior to this rumor? Is he planning on running for Governor? What are the political leaning of the Sun? Are they intent on bring the downfall of Ehrlich?

p.s. one thing we should know from all the years of watching the political Kennedy family is this: never underestimate the power and determination of a political family and their money.

Finally, since there is a new paper in the area, has anyone contacted them to see if they are interested in investigating the rumor?
