Although his name never actually appeared on the ballot, that may not be far from the truth. O’Malley championed the three big initiatives on the Maryland ballot—legalization of same-sex marriages, the Maryland Dream Act, and a gambling expansion—and all three of them passed.
The Washington Examiner had an article headlined “O’Malley stock rises, McDonnell’s drops with election,” comparing how the rivals -- who both head their respective party’s governors associations -- fared last Tuesday. While the GOP lost big in Virginia, O’Malley’s liberal social agenda was approved by voters.

ReplyDeleteDid you see how they were worded? It was like impossible to know what Yes and No meant, and the wording made you think there was only one choice.
ReplyDeleteEvery question passed results speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteHope he runs in 2016.
ReplyDeleteMaryland used to be the FREE state but no more. That is a memory.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could leave.
We have to accept the fact that the new electorate does not care about the economy or jobs - social issues rein supreme. Are we working, contributing and paying our bills? Who cares as long as gay people can marry and illegal immigrants get perks. So it's no wonder that while Maryland's economy is in the toilet and Virginia's is doing well that special interest groups vote for Democrats. The shame is that just about everyone is a member of a special interest group now. We used to be a people who put our country first, now we put ourselves first and what we want is how we vote. It's a shame to see this great country lose the values that made us great...
ReplyDeleteI agree 7:00. Now it's me first even to the detriment of one's own children who are the ones who will be faced with the economy and bankrupt governments and no jobs. It's a shame when people do put social issues before their own children.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to watch O'Malley debate Christy and watch him dismantle the smooth talking Marylander.
ReplyDeleteO'Malley should thus be well positioned to win re-election as governor /sarc
