Good Luck to Doug Duncan
I am genuinely sorry to see that Doug Duncan has dropped his bid for the Democratic Maryland gubernatorial nomination Depression Led to Final Decision
From a partisan viewpoint, the spectacle of County Executive Duncan and Mayor O’Malley trashing each other in the months leading up to the September primary was a helpful one for the re-election efforts of Governor Ehrlich. Beyond that, though, I believed Mr. Duncan was eminently more qualified to be governor than Martin O’Malley ever will be: if a Democrat once again moves to Annapolis to become governor, Doug Duncan would have been the superior choice.
Good luck to Mr. Duncan and his family; let’s hope all goes well with whatever personal problems he faces.
