No way old Bobbie raises anywhere near O'Malley. Word on the street is he's been struggling. I bet he raises less than 2 million.

The deadline for filing his campaign report with the state has passed, so what is Bob Ehrlich waiting for?

Just release a copy of the report you filed, Mr. Ehrlich. Or just give us the totals, right off your report.

Andy Barth's excuse for withholding Bob Ehrlich's report is as weak as his excuse for Bob Ehrlich's funding of CASA de Maryland while he was governor versus his anti-CASA pandering today.

This is either an elaborate bait-and-switch where Ehrlich is going to announce a much higher number than expected, or he's trying to hide his numbers by releasing them on a Friday. I think its the latter rather than the former.

The Ehrlich campaign is losing steam. He's probably praying that his old buddy Michael Steele at the RNC gives him a bailout.

Lebowitz you lair, the deadline to file is Tueaday. Only the reporting period has passed.

Ehrlich is going to steamroll Owe Malley. His fundraising numbers show that he can compete. One thing no one mentions is that a lot of Owe Malley's money comes from outside the state whereas 96% of Ehrlich's come from the people actually voting in the election.

People are tired of overtaxing and the overwhelming gap between the rich and poor that the Democratic leadership has created over the past decades.

At the very least, this election will be fun to watch

James what do you have to say now about Ehrlich not matching MOM's fundraising?
Speak up I can't hear you.
Hey Steve Lebovitz could you try and write the truth once in a while?
Just once brudda.
The financial filing report are due by August 17, 2010.
Oh I know, you were far to busy sending out fake Bob Ehrlich twits.

john -

Getting the date of the filing deadline wrong, which I did, was a mistake, not a lie.

For a lie--saying something you know to be untrue--see Bob Ehrlich's recent interview with John Harwood, in which Ehrlich denied raising taxes when he was governor. "Well, we didn't raise any taxes," Bob Ehrlich said.

Either Bob Ehrlich is delusional or he outright lied:

Bob Ehrlich raised property taxes 57 percent in 2003.

Bob Ehrlich raised personal income taxes $178 million in 2004 and 2005 by decoupling from federal tax provisions.

The nonpartisan Department of Legislative Services reported that Bob Ehrlich raised taxes almost $3 billion over his four-year term. Bob Ehrlich plays games calling some of his tax increases "fees," but the money came out of your pocket no matter what he calls them.

So he raised taxes I agree he did that Steve.
Fees are taxes-I agree there.
Of course your man MOM certainly has plenty of experience there-dating back to his days as mayor where he brought us overtaxed citizens of Baltimore the energy tax and the cell phone tax just to name two of them
So Ehrlich raised taxes like any Maryland Democrat does-what is your point Steve?
Is he in the wrong party?
Why does your party-Democrats-tax the crap out of the citizens of Maryland?
The 4th highest tax burden in the country Steve?
Why does the state of Maryland take more out of my paycheck than Social Security?
Why does your party pander to the illegals by making Maryland a sanctuary state costing the taxpayers an estimated one billion dollars a year in tax revunue?
