HEADLINE.
Sample story/editorial by Ron inserted here ... Both the Washington
Post and Baltimore Sun have reported on the very
thin GOP bench of potential challengers next year against Governor
Martin O'Malley (D). The top choice of GOP leaders is clearly
former Governor Bob Ehrlich (R), who was defeated by O'Malley
in 2006. The leading backup GOP candidate appears to be businessman
and former Ehrlich Cabinet Secretary Larry Hogan Jr. "I was
flattered to even be mentioned as a potential candidate but I
am pushing for Bob Ehrlich to run for Governor. I think he should
run and that he will run," emailed Hogan to Politics1. However,
as a side note, Hogan does appear to be making more public political
appearances around the state in recent days. Some Republicans
are unsure of Ehrlich seeking a rematch, believing he would have
already announced if he was really committed to making the 2010
race.
