Three members of the low-profile Anne Arundel County Judicial Nominating Commission are winners while, surprise surprise, state Sen. Ulysses Currie is the big loser.

Winners

Losers

Paula J. Peters

The threat of her resignation from the Anne Arundel County Judicial Nominating Commission, followed by that of Eileen E. Powers and Marysabel Rodriguez-Nanney, certainly made its point.

Ulysses Currie

Target of an FBI probe, this long-time legislator could be done for regardless of the outcome of the investigation. Search warrants never look good, especially in a district where your party is full of rising stars.

Frank Kratovil

An April poll released last week showed the Democrat running a competitive race in a heavily Republican district. Plus, he turned 40 this week.

Mike Miller

The state Senate President is coming under all kinds of heat for his son's judicial nomination -- a move that shone the spotlight on his son is now casting his own career in a shady light just as he decides upon re-election.

Rick Abbruzzese

A trade mission is always a stressful, but exciting time for staffers. Not to mention making for good stories (i.e. "When I was with Gov. O'Malley in Israel back in aught-eight...").

Roscoe Bartlett

Flipping his position on ANWR was a bad move that hurts his credibility as a maverick, stick-to-your-guns lawmaker.
