Bob is not my idea of the ideal conservative candidate, but frankly no real conservative is going to win in Maryland, and he is a good guy with good instincts on most issues. Since the alternative is Kathleen KENNEDY Townsend, Bob will get my vote and even more of my money than he has already gotten. His victory would be a body blow to the RATS (coming on the heels of the defeat of Mark Shriver in the RAT primary for Congress). Bob has inched ahead in the polls, and he can win if he gets our support. The RATS are about to unleash a firestorm of negative advertising. He can counter it (lord knows, there is plenty negative to say about the Glendenning/Townsend administration) if he can match the bucks flowing into RAT coffers from California and Massachusetts. So, don't pocket those dollars. Send them to Bob Ehrlich (with a few more of your own thrown in for good measure).
