After clearly not learning his lesson back in 2008, former Governor Bob Ehrlich has decided to interject his opinion in another primary election race. This time, Bobby wants the people of Anne Arundel County Council District 3 to elect Derek Fink as our next Councilman. Like with Andy Harris last election cycle, Ehrlich has decided to enter a district other than his own to lecture us about who to vote for. Specifically, the former Governor will be a special guest at a $50/ticket reception benefiting Fink.
Although I actually live here, I am not going to give my opinion of Fink. Truthfully, I do not know the guy which is surprising since I tend to know most of the political figures in this area. Also, since he just recently updated his website, I am just starting to see what he stands for. Still, despite this relative anonymity, Fink has become the one trumpeted by the state Republican party.
This news has to dishearten Tom Redmond who went so far as to switch parties for a chance to run for County Council again. As a recently elected Central Committee member, he became a puppet for the GOP in the 2006 general election. Likewise, they used his prime property for sign locations. Now, they've decided abandon him before the primary voters could even have their say. Granted, I questioned his elect-ability from day 1.
Going forward, I think it's a foregone conclusion that Fink will win the 2010 primary. I only wonder if the curse of Bob Ehrlich will haunt him as much as it did Andy Harris.

Redmond made his own bed, so he'll just have to accept that the party movers and shakers don't want any parts of him. On the other hand, I'm wondering if Perry Ealiam still thinks he's a Republican after the treatment he received from his friends in the GOP.
