Ehrlich takes on mayor, ?two Mikes?

When Gov. Robert Ehrlich speaks at his parents? Arbutus home late today to formally announce his re-election bid, he will come out fighting not just his expected Democratic challenger, Mayor Martin O?Malley. He will also come out swinging against what he refers to as the “two Mikes,” the presiding officers of the Senate and House.

Senate President Mike Miller and House Speaker Mike Busch will be a significant subject of conversation in the campaign, Ehrlich promised last week, just after the legislature overturned one of his vetoes for the 43rd time. Ehrlich often invariably rails about General Assembly Democrats, personified in the two men.
