Governor Bob Ehrlich has been mainly an obstructionist Governor. The only real progress in the State of Maryland has been push through by the Democratic Legislature. In the O'Malley versus Ehrlich debates, Ehrlich could point to no accompolishments he initiated as Governor. Ehrlich focused on attacking Baltimore MD as if it was a part of another country. You would have thought he was running for the position of Mayor of Baltimore. His whole negative line of attack on the people living in Baltimore was disgusting. He may have thought that he was hurting O'Malley but he was only hurt himself by showing that he had nothing to offer Maryland voters but partisan criticism on difficult issues that require more innovative and effective solutions.
