Pass on the Mayo
I disagree with Mayo Shattuck being on the list. He's pretty much the most hated man in Maryland as the head of the Evil BGE/Constellation empire. Seriously, how can he have any influence in Maryland, unless they are making deals behind the scenes on how to screw Marylanders.
the list
Congrats Martin Watcher. Keep em on their toes!!!!
Don't disagree
I don't actually disagree with Ehrlich despite the little partisan joke. I think it's just weird that they make up their own rules for the list...let us know the rules...then very early in the list break the rules.
They state "We also eliminated the living former Governors and United States Senators"
And then they put up a former governor...just odd.
It's not like someone made the rules for them. I just find it weird that they say they won't add former governors then in the top 10 is a former governor. I mean...if they want Ehrlich...just eliminate the rule...its your own list you can do whatever you want to it. lol.
Actually I'd love for one of the politickermd people to explain why they even made that rule if they knew they wanted Ehrlich on the list? Did they just forget about it?
Other than you guys
Other than you guys complaining about Ehrlich making the list, is there anybody else that you disagree with? I mean, I think the list is pretty diverse about who is on there and how much influence they have.

I Agree
Bobbys accomplishments as governor were pretty forgetable.
"We also eliminated the
"We also eliminated the living former Governors and United States Senators"
Really? - #4 Bob Ehrlich?
