2010 Maryland Primary Election Results: Robert Ehrlich Defeats Brian Murphy

Sarah Palin's endorsement of newcomer and Tea Party favorite Brian Murphy was not enough to bring him the win. Former Governor Robert Ehrlich won Maryland's Republican primary election.

Martin O'Malley Can Seek Reelection

Incumbent Martin O'Malley won the Democratic primary against J.P. Cusick and Ralph Jaffe, two newcomers. Now the stage is set for a rematch between Martin O'Malley and Robert Erlich. While the recession has hit O'Malley's public image pretty hard, Maryland is doing better than most other US states, and we should expect a glass-half-empty vs half-full campaign between Ehrlich and O'Malley.

Maryland Primary: Senate Results

In the Senate primaries, Barbara Mikulski sailed to victory in the Democratic election, while Eric Wargotz edged out Jim Rutledge for the Republican win.

Ehrlich ran on a pro-business and tax-cutting platform. The former governor was defeated by O'Malley when he ran for re-election in 2006.
O'Malley has been touting record investments in education despite tough economic times during his tenure.
