AP calls races for O'Malley, Ehrlich, Mikulski and six congressmen
The Associated Press has called several primary races in Maryland, declaring that Gov. Martin O'Malley and Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski have topped the little-known Democrats challenging them. Former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. has won his primary against investor and businessman Brian Murphy, according to the AP, with early results showing Ehrlich ahead by a 4-to-1 margin.
The following incumbent Democratic members of congress have also been declared winners: C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (2nd district); John Sarbanes (3rd district); Donna Edwards (4th district); Steny Hoyer (5th district) and Elijah Cummings (7th district). Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (6th district), a Republican, has won his primary.

Quite the contrary, I think the dems have done a good job protecting the interests of their MD constituency.

Murphy over or close to 20%? Ehrlich should concede to O'Malley now.

Both parties should be ashamed of themselves. Both parties stifled any debate or discussion of issues in this campaign and forced their preferred candidate down our throats. Nothing will change in November. We have the choice of the huge government, high taxes and cronyism of O'Malley, or the huge government, high taxes and cronyism of Ehrlich. Pathetic. I think I'm too busy in November to vote.

I hope you like MD as it is, because the idiots here always vote for the same old morons that get them grief to complain about. But they never vote for anyone new. Maryland is done, over with, and has been for some time.
As for me - I'm moving to FL, so have at it, kids.
