Maryland: O’Malley Ahead Of Ehrlich In New Poll

11:30 am EST January 20th, 2010 | News | 3 Comments

Despite the bad national environment for incumbents, Gov. O’Malley leads former Gov. Bob Ehrlich 48-39. My guess is it isn’t as close as that, because in a poll with just over 800 people, they’ve got Ehrlich pulling 16% of Democrats. Unlikely.

I have a feeling Ehrlich won’t run anyway, and O’Malley has already banked $5.7 million in his campaign warchest.

    Not that election polls and vote tabulations can be rigged or stolen, or anything. Perhaps using, say, corrupt access to phone circuits, and unexamined voting computers and software.

    Re-route just 20 carefully targeted calls in a 500-sample phone poll, and you give your trailing candidate an 8 point bump. Just 20. Easy to fine tune the polls and final vote tally to match up? “Well, I guess everything’s ok, ’cause the numbers match!”

    The problem with that poll, OW, is that it’s too early. The GOPukes don’t have a slate of nominees yet, but once they get a runner the rhetoric against MOM will be ferocious. Then you might see a different poll spread.

    Question is, if Ehrlich runs, would he maintain his center-right stances…or would he embrace the D-baggers? And from where will the Missus import election-day vagrant workers THIS time?!

    Clearly Ehrlich needs to pose in some Jockeys to gain ground.

    (Urrrrgh..)
