Robert Ehrlich

But the Camelot restoration was not to be.

Townsend was defeated in an upset by Congressman Bob Ehrlich.

He became the first Republican to be elected governor since Spiro Agnew in 1966.

Michael Steele was Ehrlich's running mate, another unlikely pairing at the time.

Today, we know Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, as co-host of MSNOW's show The Weeknight.

He's also the host of a new weekly program for MSNOW Premium subscribers called A Word with the Chairman.

He previously had been chair of the Prince George's County Republican Party for many years.

He had run unsuccessfully for state comptroller in 1998.

They said the same thing about Maryland.

Republican Bob Ehrlich won.

Larry Hogan won two terms.

Don't tell me it can't happen.

I mean, we party when KJ said we hit it.

So was former Republican governor of Maryland, Bob Ehrlich and his wife, Kendall Ehrlich, who are very good friends of mine.

Kendall is like a mentor to me.

I absolutely adore this woman and I've admired her for many, many years.

And she just wrote another book.

They are prolific book writers.

And if you look, Over my shoulder, you can see the full Bob Ehrlich Library over top of my shoulder here.

But Kendall wrote a book called Longevity.

And that could be as early as a year in or so.

So we'll take a look at Aruna and hear from Bob Ehrlich what he thinks about Aruna Miller as well.

6.50, 10 minutes now before the hour of 7 o'clock.

You're listening to KC and Company.

Look, I was not a fan of Martin O'Malley or Paris Glendening, but they're making this guy.

They were darn efficient compared to Westmore, that is for sure.

Former Governor Bob Ehrlich was asked whether or not he thinks Westmore will serve a full term if he gets reelected.

Well, he's already been gone, what, one out of every four days over the first term.

And today we will be also be doing a video podcast and it is available on Spotify.

My guest today is the Honorable Robert Ehrlich, former governor of Maryland.

Governor Bob Ehrlich is a former governor of Maryland, U.S. congressman, and state legislature.

A graduate of Princeton University and Wake Forest University School of Law, he has been a leading voice in American politics and public policy for over three decades.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome to Bottom Line with Bob and Kendel Ehrlich.

The election season is upon us.

Here we are.

With regard to the Senate races that we're following very closely, Maine.

Now, we're going to have some real insight here because next week I'm going up to Maine.

Bobby Charles, my friend, has asked me to come up and do an event for him.

In Maine, a Republican candidate for governor.

You're only polling, I think, at 16% with Independents.

So we all know that in order to win, Larry Hogan's, you know, roadmap, and Bob Ehrlich's roadmap, was they won with Independents in a major way, and they're able to pick off, uh, a few Democrats here, here and there.

Why are you polling so low, do you think, with Independents?

Well, I don't believe that that's the actual number, the, the 16%, because you have to add in the undecideds, okay? So it is reasonable in an elector- in a, in an election where you have a, um, you know, incumbent who, who has in the past, you know, had a popular personality.

More than 100,000 calls went out.

The scheme was eventually traced back to the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert Ehrlich.

Although there was no evidence Ehrlich himself had approved it, his campaign manager was later convicted.

What's striking about the Maryland case is how little technology it required.

Did he ever actually believe in anything? I've had many conversations, not many, a couple of conversations

with former governor Robert Ehrlich of Maryland who

elevated him with him to lieutenant governor.

And

And those are the things, Sean, thank you for the call, Sean.

Those are the things that are Hogan-esque or Bob Ehrlich-esque.

Like, like, those are the things that, regardless to your party, doesn't matter, people go, "Yeah."

Yeah.
