• Maryland Democratic Failures

The article about Maryland Senate elections, "GOP targets 7 Senate seats; Democrats scoff" (Metropolitan, Friday), listed seven seats being contested by Republican hopefuls. The article failed to mention the competitive race in Legislative District 19 in Silver Spring for the Maryland Senate. It is likely that one of two Democratic delegates Carol Petzold or Adrienne Mandel will face a Republican and former FBI agent, Mike Ryman, for the seat.

• Commentary: Celebrating Maryland Day: A Democratic Lesson for the World

The first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, would likely be surprised by the commemorations held this weekend across the state to honor the 371st anniversary of the landing of the first Europeans on Maryland's shores. He never could have imagined that his 17th- century colonial experiment would be recognized as a powerful example of democracy with lessons for would-be democrats across the globe. The most important is this: the vitality of democracy is based not only on idealism but on the fact that it works. Calvert and the first Marylanders were not democratic idealists nor did they believe in rule by the people. In 17th-century England the people in parliament were those with property and largely from the aristocracy. Ordinary working citizens were excluded from the political process. D...

• Gop Would Hurt Economy to Beat Obama, Governor Says

SALT LAKE CITY - The head of the Democratic Governors Association accused GOP debt negotiators in Washington of trying to undermine the economy so President Obama will lose his re-election bid next year. Hogwash, responded Republicans. But the charge from Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is evidence of the political nervousness among Democratic governors looking ahead to 2012 after their ranks were thinned in the last election.

• An Alarming Wake-Up Call ; Maryland Blacks Send Message to Democratic Party

Blacks aren't necessarily mad as hell, but they certainly aren't taking it anymore. Times, they are a'changin' at last. Shackled to the Democratic Party ever since the "Great Society" ushered in Head Start, the War on Poverty and historic civil rights legislation, black Americans particlarly those who most benefitted from those heady days of the 1960s are asking party leaders a profound question: "What have you done for me lately?

• Frc Denounces Maryland House Speaker for Subverting Democratic Process

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Earlier today, Maryland House Speaker Michael Busch recessed the House to block a vote on the Marriage Protection Act (HB 48). He took this extreme action apparently after learning that the amendment had received enough petition signatures to bring the measure to a floor vote. Last month, Baltimore Circuit Court Judge M. Brooke Murdock, struck down Maryland's marriage law as unconstitutional. Peter Sprigg, Family Research Council's Vice President for Policy, released the following statement: It is stunning that Maryland House Speaker Michael Busch has chosen to join a Baltimore circuit judge in subverting the democratic process. The House Speaker's decision to block a vote on marriage now places the democratic process itself in jeopardy. "It i...
