As a Marylander, I made the mistake of voting for Ehrlich in the last election. I believed him when he said higher education would not be hurt in the upcoming election, and was particularly impressed when he came on campus to address the issues.
Boy, was I wrong. Ehrlich has effectively become the enemy of higher education, and has slashed the University of Maryland's budget gratuitously. Couple that with his other actions, and the potential for an campaign opponent who actually matters, and I don't see him surviving the next election.
That said, I feel his ideas have a reasonable foundation but a shitty delivery. It's one thing to say that it's important to unify people through a common language; it's something completely different to say all other cultures are "crap." Stuff like this is just going to bring more Democrats to the polls, which is something Erhlich does NOT need.
That's an election year I'm looking forward to.
