O'Malley to campaign for Rawlings-Blake, Brown today
Gov. Martin O'Malley will be in Baltimore this afternoon to campaign for two candidates -- Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and De'Von Brown, a college senior running for the City Council.
At 3, O'Malley will talk with Brown supporters at Terra Cafe on the 2500 block of St. Paul Street. Brown became close with O'Malley and his wife, Judge Katie O'Malley, after he was featured in the documentary "The Boys of Baraka" several years ago.
A senior at Maryland Institute College of Arts, Brown is vying for the 12th District seat currently occupied by Carl Stokes. Other challengers include community activist Odette Ramos, Mt. Vernon-Belvedere Association President Jason Curtis and labor leader Jermaine Jones.
At 5, O'Malley will head to Belvedere Square to stump for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, his long-time political ally. Rawlings-Blake and O'Malley have been closely allied since they both served on the council together.

When SRB talks I bet MOM will be throwing his voice.

I don't get it. A good relationship between the Governor and the Mayor should be a good thing. Its

"Breaking News?" This is "breaking news?" The fix has been in since the day Peter O'Malley went to work as SRB's Chief of Staff. As voters, we can only hope that SRB will trip over the puppet strings and fall on her face next Tuesday.

Get ready for higher taxes folks. If anyone remembers, SRB sat next to her master at a Senate hearing back in March urging legislators to pass an increase in the gas tax. Fortunately, because of the lagging economy, MOM backed off. He won't do that this year since the next chair he sits in will be U.S. Senator Mikulski's when she retires.
Bet on this: SRB leaves her husband after the election and she sits next to MOM at a committee hearing next winter testifying for the need for higher taxes in order to find the money to patch potholes.
