Republican Larry Hogan made it official today - he is not running as the Republican candidate against incumbent socialist-leaning, tax & spend liberal, but oh so cute Martin O'Malley.
Hogan stated that he his confident that former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich will go against O'Malley to win his seat back. However, the former Governor has made no commitment yet, and as of now, with only 9 months to go until the general election, I think there is no Republican candidate for Governor.
Alan Keyes - where are you? Doesn't Alan Keyes run for every position? He's run for President several times. Maybe he can jump in there. Not that I'm endorsing him. Chuck Ecker is retiring as the Carroll County Superintendent of Schools. He ran in 1998 against Sauerbrey for the Republican candidacy. Maybe he could consider another run in his retirement. Thomas Mooney - he once ran for Governor against William Donald Shaefer, though he got his ass kicked when Willy Don got 82% of the vote. Pat Sajak is out there. He lives in Maryland. Is he a Republican?
Who can beat Irish Mug? I'm not real sure the Governor Ehrlich can win a rematch with Slick Marty. I agree, as do most Marylanders, that he's jacked up taxes across the state that impact hard-working middle class and poor families (remember, the sales tax is regressive as it hits poor people disproportionately), and he is robbing from the rainy day funds to pay for programs today. That stimulus money isn't going to keep on showing up so that Marty can have thousands of do-nothing lap dogs in Annapolis.
So what's a Marylander to do? I can retire in 30 years and move to South Carolina. But until then, I'm just not sure.

I was really hoping Hogan would run. Personally, I believe he had a better chance of beating O'Malley than Ehrlich. It's not that I am anti-Ehrlich, but I just don't "feel good" about him.
How about Brian Murphy, of Chevy Chase? I don't know much about him, I just learned about him today. Check him out at "Ten Questions: Brian Murphy at Red Maryland or go to www.brianmurphy2010.com.
