Ehrlich reports raising $725K in 18 days
Republican former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich’s campaign released some preliminary campaign finance information this afternoon, saying they’ve raised $725,505 since the last reporting period 18 days ago.
They say the money has come from 3,040 donations, and say that 41 percent of the donors have never given money to their campaign before. Ehrlich’s team claims “in excess of $2.5 million” is in their bank account.
Gov. Martin O’Malley’s campaign isn’t planning to release early figures, but unless they’ve gone on some kind of wild spending spree in the last three weeks, the incumbent governor still has a significant cash advantage over his opponent. O’Malley last reported having $6.7 million cash on hand.

Looks like Ehrlich is gaining serious momentum.

Let me guess, O'Malley will bury his numbers on the Friday of Labor Day weekend

Since the MDGOP has taken the wool and carefully pulled it over the eyes of many Marylander's it is no wonder that Bob was able to fill his piggy bank.
It is only now as folks recieve their ballots that people are learning about the Republican Candidate Brian Murphy.
So watch this story unfold when people start learning the difference of a Conservative vs A Moderate.
People know we need True Republicans for fiscal change. So hold on to those purse strings - MDGOP's RULE 11 (look it up) won't stop Murphy - he's in it to win it and I challenge you to educate yourself and on September 14 choose Brian Murphy for Maryland Governor.

###And for those of you that say you like Brian Murphy but he can not beat O'Malley - I beg to differ - The state is hurting - the economy is hurting on these issues alone people will vote for the "Economist and Successfull Business Guy" Rather than a failed Governor.
The issues we are facing currently are touching the lives of ALL Marylanders.
