Weekly Md Roundup: A Glimmer of Hope Amidst the Darkness

- Much of the political news in Maryland has been focused upon the negative polling data for Bob Ehrlich over the past two weeks. I think that Ehrlich made a tactical mistake by letting O'Malley go up on the air unanswered for several months in the Baltimore market and several weeks in the DC market. Hopefully, now that he is hitting O'Malley for covering up negative economic reports, things will begin to shift.

- There were a few positive news items in Maryland this week. The Carrol County Times reports that Republicans have increased their registration numbers while Democrats have lost several hundred voters. This might seem insignificant as Carrol County is already a very "red" jurisdiction. On the other hand, if we would only shore up our support in the conservative parts of the state, we would go a long way in making this a two party state. A few months ago, there was a report in the Baltimore Sun about Republicans making registration gains in Harford County, another growing red county in Maryland. The GOP has failed for many years to harness the conservative energy that already exists in much of the state. There is still a lot of improvement to be made even in the counties that are already considered "in the bag" for Republicans.
