Sean, I guess it must pain
Sean, I guess it must pain you that your hero Ehrlich is acting like the Democrats whom you hate so much.
You're right; the Dems
You're right; the Dems didn't want slots under Ehrlich. They screamed and cried that it would demoralize the state, bring the criminal element into the state and take advantage of Maryland's poor. Now 2 years later Martin O'Malley wants slots and all of a sudden no one has a problem with it. Partisanship at it's best.
