Well since Bob Ehrlich announced he will jump into the gubernatorial race in Maryland, it is clear the message Maryland Democrats are going to use, at least in the short term. I got an email from the Maryland Democratic party with the subject “Backwards” which had this paragraph within the email.
Ehrlich wants to take Maryland back to the days when he increased college tuition by 40 percent, increased spending by more than 30 percent and put special interests ahead of working families.We can’t move back.

Then about two hours later, I get an email from Martin O’Malley himself.
He says he wants to “Take Back Maryland,” but what he really wants is to take us back – back to the days when special interests always got their way. Back to the days of record spending with zero accountability. Back to the days when middle class families took a backseat to giant corporations.
Clearly the Democrats are jumping directly to the negative campaigning before the campaign even begins. I am sure I will be getting a similar email from the Howard County Democrats before not too long with the exact same message….
