Maryland Governors Race

Shocking I know, but John McCain will appear on a Sunday talk show today.

The evolution of state-sanctioned gambling in Maryland has been interesting to watch.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland will top the list of speakers at next weekend's Democratic State Convention in Augusta, which is expected to draw 1,500 delegates and comes just a little more than a week before the state legislative and congressional primaries.

The barely 2-week-old campaign for governor has gotten off to a raucous start, with a lawsuit, threats of "evisceration" and the two national parties wading in playing hard ball.

"Mayor Booker's comments weren't anticipated , but they did drive a discussion of Romney's history of profiting off of bankrupting companies onto all 3 network newscasts. With GOP super PACs added in, there's no doubt the GOP could be at parity with us on the air. But the Romney campaign faces a danger in outsourcing their message to super PACs. And while we're building the largest grassroots campaign in history on the ground, they made a huge mistake in not replicating the strong ground organization that was critical to reelecting President Bush. … The President didn't support gay marriage because the politics were clear or easy, he did it because it was the right thing to do. If Mitt Romney wants to engage on this topic, he'll have to explain why he doesn't support civil unions like President Bush did in 2004 which could roll back a whole host of rights and benefits for gay couples, and why he wants to enshrine discrimination into the Constitution by passing a federal marriage amendment."
