Some news that may telegraph the November elections, from Libertarian Republican:

Maryland is the deepest of blue states. Martin O’Malley, a former top staffer for US Senator Barbara Mikulski is one of the most hardened leftwing radical Governors in the Nation. O’Malley raised the state income tax by 8 percent.

In 2005, O’Malley, then the Mayor of Baltimore, compared President Bush to a “9/11 Terrorist,” for his “massive spending cuts to local and state governments.”

Now a new poll has former Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich pulling ahead of O’Malley in a re-match of the 2006 contest where Ehrlich lost.

From Hedgehog:

GOVERNOR – MARYLAND (Magellan)

• Bob Ehrlich (R) 46%
• Martin O’Malley (D-inc) 43%
