CNN projects Democrat wins Maryland governor
(CNN) -- CNN projects that Democrat Martin O'Malley, the mayor of
Baltimore, will defeat Maryland Gov. Robert Erlich, the incumbent Republican. This is a pick-up for the Democrats, the fourth on the night. Democrats need a net pick-up of four governorships to take over a majority of the state posts. Heading into the balloting, five GOP-held seats were considered likely to switch, and races for six others are down to the wire. By contrast, just four Democrat-held governorships appear to be within possible Republican reach, and two of those were leaning Democratic. |
