Ehrlich: No post-debate spin
Republican former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. slipped out the back door and left WJZ a few moments ago. Confronted by reporters he said, "No questions right now."
He did say he was "happy, very happy." Ehrlich waited in a back room for about 30 minutes talking to staff before jetting. His SUV drove past the huge O'Malley press conference that is going on right now.
At a separate press conference, Ehrlich spokesman Andy Barth said Ehrlich did a "better job explaining to people what he would do if elected." Barth said he thought Ehrlich "spoke with force." His campaign just put out a statement saying "Ehrlich scores decisive win" in first debate.
Pressed by reporters as to why the former governor took no questions after the sometimes-heated in-studio exchange, Barth said, "We want to let the debate speak for itself."
Top Ehrlich aide Greg Massoni was also tight-lipped, saying only, "We'll let the debate stand. We're very pleased."
O'Malley camp reaction coming soon.

Ehrlich was awful he was hard to follow as he kept jumping from one issue to another. Most of the time not answering the questioned before him. What was with all the arm waiving??

Bob Ehrlich has no intention of answering questions from anyone prior to the election, unless they are submitted in advance for his approval. He's scared to death he might be asked about corrupt practices in his first (and only) administration. He does not make himself available to the general public but instead favors small, hand-picked groups of supporters where he pontificates about how wonderful he was as Governor. What a joke. PLEASE DO NOT ELECT BOB EHRLICH!!!!!!!!!
