Wasn't Sheila Dixon's last campaign slogan "Moving Baltimore Forward"?

We can't wait till the election to get rid of this man. He is a low life slime ball crook. He has never had the peoples objectives in mind. It is always what is best for Martin and company.

Taking Maryland back to pre-O'Malley days would be moving the state forward.

Does this mean the State Board of Elections will remain open after normal work hours for other candidates to file, or is this a courtesy extended only to our incumbent governor?

Governor O'Malley submitted and passed the budget that was smaller than it was 4 years ago while still making record investments in K-12 education, public safety and the environment just to name a few. The national recession has hurt all states but under Governor's O'Malley's leadership, Maryland is doing far better than most. During Ehrlich's years in office he twice submitted jacked up budgets that were well over the spending affordability guidelines and took no regard for what that would mean for the state in the future and now he lies about it. Hey echo chamber, what can you point to that Ehrlich actually accomplished while in office and don't say didn't raise taxes because we all know that's a lie. Protected public land? Nope, just tried to sell it off to his friends. Valued higher education for Marylanders? 40% increase in tuition.

The only thing between you and a massive O'Malley tax increase is Bob Ehrlich.

I thought Bob already raised our property taxes?

It's official, O'Malley announces!! So tax paying Marylanders, what's in your wallet AGAIN????

Valued higher education for Marylanders? 40% increase in tuition.

Hey Informed Marylander (of Annapolis no doubt how are you doing Steve)-I could hold tuition level for 4 years too if I raised taxes like your hero did in the special session of 2007.

Except for oyster replenishment I do not see any OMalley accomplishments.
I remember a few over valued land deals the state purchased that benefitted OMalley supprters Steve.
And why is OMalley supporting illegal aliens in the state of Maryland ?
At least with Ehrlich as governor I will fear less for my wallet!

Any State employee that votes for OMalley is a fool

Perhaps his long time experience as a bar room singer of fanciful ballads to the Guinness soaked and gullible have deluded Martin O’Malley and his band (Friends of Martin O’Malley) into believing that he can intone to his constituency any fantasy that suites him. It is one thing for a singer in bars to extol dubious claims and speciously disparage; but as a public office holder, he should be brought to task when he attempts similar blarney and his record of such official flights of fabrication should impel the public to view his assertions with a cynical eye.

So it's official! I have to choose between two candidates that are proven failures at this job. Yay!

Is there another choice for governor? As a lifelong democrated supporter, O'Malley is a bigger fraud than Ehrlich.

And what does the echo chamber come back with in terms of Former Governor Ehrlich's accomplishments while in office??? Crickets... silence... All you can do is try and throw personal insults at Governor O'Malley which are baseless and a pitiful attempt to cover up the fact that the facts aren't on your side.

we will all benefit under many more tax increases are we all stupid martin omalley is the greatest thing to ever happen to maryland or america for that matter.

Let's see... Ehrlich inherits a 4 billion deficit and leaves a 2 billion surplus...Meanwhile Martin "Lie'n King" O'Malley's notable accomplishment = a tossup between:
- the largest tax increase in state history- another (repeated deficit) - a 180,000 PART TIME job for his father-in-law - Thousands of jobs lost. - B&D, BP Solar, Marriott, FTI, Northrup, Solo Cup, Legg Mason, ... all cutting jobs or bypassing the state - that's just a sample. - The drop from 21st most business friendly state to 45th after the first year of O'Malley's term. - Remember the 1¢ sales tax increase? PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.

Ehrlich isn't my first choice for Governor, but if Ehrlich took office and did nothing, it would be a big improvement! I used to be considered middle class, I am almost considered poor now. Every friggin tax hike O'Moron voted for, hurt the middle class, and especially the poor. The rich can afford the higher sales tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, higher gasoline and heating fuel taxes, must I go on? Why should us black folks vote for this idiot? He put me in the poor house, while bragging about how much he helps the middle class. He has only pushed me down from the middle class.
