Maryland Republican leaders meeting this morning to fire up the state's convention
delegates found themselves backpedaling from some strikingly candid advice Gov.
Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. offered the party's presidential nominee on the radio last
week.

During a recent morning interview on WTOP, Ehrlich said President Bush "needs
to be in the states he can potentially win. . . . He should not, in all likelihood,
come to Maryland. My advice to him is not to come to Maryland. . . . We're not terribly
competitive."

Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele said he thought he should explain his boss's remarks
"head on."

"Those comments dealt with spending money, but the grassroots operation is
alive and well," Steele said.

is the scum that rides on the top of scum.

Maryland's highest court Tuesday rejected demands for additional safeguards for touchscreen voting machines, saying elections officials have done everything necessary to ensure the paperless devices are accurate and secure. The Court of Appeals also rejected a call to allow citizens who do not trust touchscreen voting to use paper ballots in the Nov. 2 general election.
Asked about the security of the state's 16,000 Diebold AccuVote-TS electronic machines, Lamone said, "I'm very confident they are accurate and secure."

For the people, by the people...huh??
