Farming on the Eastern Shore, Past, Present, Future
The 2010 election season stirred much talk and animosity about farming on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, particularly the future of the poultry industry in light of environmental regulation. Here on the Lower Shore, there is much tension between farming and environmentalism. However, many argue that the two need not be competitive, but should be compatible. Agriculture and […]

November 10, 2010
Updated Nov. 29, 2010 The 2010 election is finally over on the Lower Eastern Shore. The results remain “unofficial,” but the votes have been counted. Del.

Jim Mathias Widens Lead over Michael James in District 38 Absentee Ballot Count
November 5, 2010
Del. Jim Mathias, the hard-working former mayor of Ocean City, appears to be one of the few Eastern Shore Democrats whose boat was not swamped by the Republican high tide that flooded across the U.S. on Election Day. Mathias led Republican Michael James by a paper-thin margin at the close of voting on Tuesday. In […]

October 31, 2010
In this troubled economy of 2010, many voters are casting about, almost desperately, for a qualified new candidate who is both competent and trustworthy. Is that too much to ask?

I just figured it out. Democrats are more likely to be endorsed by firefighters. Check it out: Here in District 38B, all three Democrats — Jim Mathias for State Senate, Norm Conway and Gee Williams for House of Delegates — have won the International Association of Fire Fighters endorsements. And the Republicans haven’t.
Jim Mathias Leading Michael James in Maryland District 38
October 30, 2010
Many on the Lower Eastern Shore thought Michael James was the favorite in the race with Del. James Mathias for the District 38 State Senate seat in Maryland.

Election Fatigue
October 27, 2010
I’ve been talking to voters in Worcester County, Maryland, nearly every day since mid-August, and here’s how the mood has changed. Before the September primary, voters were relaxed and friendly. If they were angry about politics in general, they were civil and friendly when talking face-to-face. After the primary, I found many voters were increasingly […]

October 26, 2010
The Washington Post has released a poll showing Gov. Martin O’Malley leading challenger Bob Ehrlich by 14 points in Maryland. O’Malley is the popular Democratic incumbent in a blue state. The Post’s reported margin is exactly the same as the spread reported in a separate poll by The Baltimore Sun on Sunday. Meanwhile, Rep. Frank […]
