Eberly commentary: No geographic mistake in Gansler’s pick of Ivey

The latest bit of nonsense in the Maryland governors’ race is the suggestion that Doug Gansler from Montgomery County made a mistake by not balancing his ticket with someone from the Baltimore Region. The only folks who would argue that a PG/Howard ticket is geographically balanced while a MoCo/PG ticket is regional are folks who have never looked at a map of Maryland!

State Roundup, October 15, 2013

Rural counties plan economic summit to tout their importance statewide; six seek to fill District 36 seat vacated by now state Sen. Hershey; gubernatorial candidate Gansler picks Del. Jolene Ivey as running mate, eschewing popular wisdom on picking from Baltimore area and staying mum on “reckless backseat driving” claims; as a light-skinned African-American, Ivey addresses issues of race; meanwhile, rival Brown points to issues where Gansler and Ivey disagree; and in other news, Wicomico County to address communities with tainted wells by extending public water.
