Many Marylanders have been in the Democratic Party for generations, but have begun to realize that "It's not your father's democratic party." The 2-1 statewide advantage for the Dems is not actually how people vote. Bob Ehrlich really does have a chance, just not with the dependency or government worker groups, of which Maryland has a great number. He will win overwhelmingly with those contributing to the economy.
Deservedly or not, Townsend seems to be on everybody's short list for stardom.
Who is this *everybody*?
Surely not the voters of Maryland who phone talk shows!
