By contrast, Mr. Ehrlich's running mate, state GOP chairman Michael S. Steele, brings little to the team but the color of his skin. His choice was a calculated move by Mr. Ehrlich, made all the more crass when it was discovered that Mr. Steele is being paid by the GOP as a "consultant" to run.
One of these days the ultra-liberal, elitist, urbanite snobs will realize that they are the only ones who are "color-struck."
Huh? He was the Chair of the MD-GOP, before even being chosen by Ehrlich. The only thing they paid him was his salary.
