PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) — Former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich said Tuesday supporters are urging him to run for U.S. Senate instead of governor, and he said their suggestions are "in the mix" as he considers his options.
Ehrlich, who became Maryland's first Republican governor in a generation when he won in 2002, has been testing the waters for a 2010 run for governor by traveling around the state to meet with voters.

Hate to sound pessimistic, but that's the picture as I see it just now.

You don't win the minds and hearts of voters by losing an election and then whining for the next four years.
Ehrlich can run for town dog catcher if he can get the support, but he has sealed his fate as a permanent also-ran by having his cute little AM radio whine-fest. I do. however, think he would do well in Dundalk.

Lie Steele before him he will lose. Maybe he should be happy on his cute little AM radio show bashing O'Malley. Weave, Bob, Weave.
