Ehrlich's tireless efforts to appeal to the liberal-moderate Maryland electorate.

And hence the reason for Gov. Palin's endorsement of Brian Murphy. Didn't the GOP already try Bob Erlich's strategy in 2006 and 2008? How did it work out?

I agree 100% and I always hate how people say that the more conservative challenger has no chance of winning. However, in this case it is true. I could even swallow the idea that Murphy would have a chance in the general if he would win the primary and raise some $$$. Unfortunately, there is no way he can win the primary with only one month left. He barely has name recognition outside of those who closely follow Maryland politics. This is why I am hoping that he will get enough attention so he can have a future in Md politics.
