Democratic Incumbent Governors Increasingly Toasty-Looking
Democratic Incumbent Governors Increasingly Toasty-Looking
This morning's Washington Post quotes Robert Ehrlich, former governor of Maryland, saying he's thinking of running for that office again, telling the paper he plans to conduct polls and convene focus groups in coming weeks to help determine whether a rematch with Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) might be winnable.
Maryland Democrats will probably scoff that a Republican win by 18 percentage points in a neighboring state means nothing to them. But Maryland's unemployment rate is 7.2 percent; the month O'Malley beat Ehrlich, it was 3.6 percent. It's quite possible that things will be only marginally better, the same, or worse a year from now; Ehrlich could probably get quite a bit of traction on, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"
