Silly rabbit! wasn't even running! He's already had his maximum two terms.

In actuality, we Marylanders chose substance over a flashy, well-known maiden name and elected Bob Ehrlich as our governor.

As for the gun issue; not to be rude but do you live in the same Maryland I live in? We've had over 300 gun deaths in this state in 2001 while Parris was in office. Remember Joe Palzynski, the guy in Dundalk who went on a killing spree and then held a family hostage for a week in 2000? Parris was in office then, too. And the most recent "sniper" (although I hesitate to call anyone who uses a rifle with a tripod from 100 yards a sniper) shootings in Montgomery and PG county happened on Paris' watch. Based on this, how do you equate having a democrat in the governor's mansion with fewer crimes with firearms?

If it makes you feel any better though, I'm rather disgusted myself that Dutch Ruppersberger got elected. But I guess that was to be expected since Parris reconfigured the voting districts to favor the Dems

I'm not saying that Paris' reign was saintly, but I haven't heard anything good about Ehrlich. Not that the Lt. Gov. has anything to do, Steele is full of it and has absolutely no experience, he's a "lawyer" who failed the bar in MD. And to be fair, you cannot blame the governor, no matter who it is, for another person's actions. The sniper wasn't even FROM here, and was living in his car. I don'tthink you could blame that on anyone but them and the devil--the real one LOL. My major thing with him is his educational plans. His credit is shotty in this respect and as a mother and future teacher, I can't get down with him, not at all. But who knows, he may surprise us all, ANYTHING is possible! LOL
