    The Primary Results for elections in MD are in. The two points of interest to me are the governor’s race and the State House of Delegates.
    For Governor, Martin O'Malley received a good 40,000 more votes than Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. I know they are the only ones running, but after meeting and interviewing both, I sort of was hoping neither could win. When I met them, they were both overly cocky and did nothing but trash talk the other.
   For the House of Delegates, in Worcester County, Jim Mathias (former mayor of Ocean City) received the most votes. Norman Conway got the second most. In Wicomico County, Conway had the most and Mathias was second….  So it looks like Mathias is in!
    I didn’t even vote in the election but because I personally know Mathias and Conway I wanted both of them to win. Now that I think about it, I'll probbally give Mathias a call later today before class and tell him "Congrad's."
    Note: Even better than those two winning is Sonny Bloxom losing! The guy has been a county commissioner for forever, but he is a bigot and a jerk so that makes me very happy.
