Sources: Ehrlich to pick disabilities chief as running mate

Kristen Cox, the 36-year-old blind disabilities secretary who grew up in Utah, is expected to be named Gov. Robert Ehrlich?s running mate for lieutenant governor at an announcement this morning in Annapolis, according to sources with knowledge of the campaign.

Cox?s name has been bandied about for weeks, along with a short list of other women being considered for the position. Recent polls show Ehrlich with less support among women than four years ago.
