MARYLAND Republicans are strategizing in New York this week about how to re-elect President Bush this fall and Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. in 2006.
Meanwhile, Maryland Democrats are at home, plotting the opposite.
A group of liberal Democrats is organizing the Maryland Progressive Summit, scheduled for Oct. 2 in Columbia.
Del. Peter Franchot of Montgomery County, one of the organizers, said he hopes to capitalize on Democrats' anger toward Bush this year and channel it toward the governor two years hence.
Featured speakers will include Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley and Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan.
Topics for the summit: "How George Bush and Robert Ehrlich are Ruining Maryland's Environment," "How George Bush and Robert Ehrlich are Underfunding Education and Leaving Children Behind," and "How George Bush and Robert Ehrlich are Reducing Investments in Our Future."
