I called the Ehrlich campaign and the person who answered the phone (who may or may not know anything) did say the email was authentic.

Having said that, I was at Howard Co HQ and we are very busy and the talk is that turnout in Carroll and Howard is up and Baltimore City is light.

Further, watching the news coverage of the final rallies, Ehrlich said we will win and win big and O'malley never mentioned winning.

I conclude, that we are ahead and winning and this email was poorly written.

The only thing that concerns me is that O'Malley's party is at the hippodrome which is a first class place along with Ehrlich's being at the Hyatt which is also first class. In other words, both sides are expecting a big party. Often, a loser has a modest place for a party and that is not the case on either side.

Personally, I think enough people are going to ask themselves "do I want O'Malley to do to the state what he's done to Baltimore" that Ehrlich will win easily.

Not stopping me from voting or encouraging others to though. Even if this were "in the bag", I want the margin to be as high as possible.
