Just voted for Bob Ehrlich in Salisbury and feel great about his chances.

Both candidates focused almost exclusively on Mont. and PG counties. Are voters on the Shore used to being ignored? Did Ehrlich or KKT make any campaign appearances in your area, and did you see any ads run on local Sailsbury TV? Also, due to its higher black population, doesn't Sailsbury lean Democratic relative to the rest of the Shore? Sorry for the crossfire; just curious.

Actually, the whole Eastern Shore votes primarily Republican and conservative. The only exception is Somerset County, which trends Democrat.

Ehrlich had a ton of ads on Salisbury TV, while KKT had some but not near as many. I think she lost the money battle big time. Bob Ehrlich was in Salisbury at least twice, once at a fundraiser for a local state senator and once at a Rotary Club meeting. He will win the non-urban areas of Maryland by the biggest margins that have ever been seen. That is why KKT is still trying to tie up her base (Montgomery, P.G. counties and Baltimore city).

The wild card in this race is that the mayor of Baltimore does not particularly want KKT to win as he would rather take on a Republican in 4 years rather than have to possibly wait 8 years if KKT wins.
