Doug Duncan: I just can't compete with that cute boyish face!

So its happened. Doug Duncan has conceded that he's got nothing in the looks department compared to Martin O'Malley, so he is dropping out of the race for governor. This is FANTASTIC news for Maryland DEMS as now there is no worry about getting bogged down in a nasty primary. As for our non-democrat reader base out there (we know you're out there lurking in the shadows), all I can say is can Bob Ehrlich pull this off?.........

Didn't think so!

But in all seriousness folks, the current speculation is that Duncan is really withdrawing because he is suffering from Clinical Depression. While Lulu and I are glad the MD race is down to Mano Y Mano, neither of us rejoice at the apparent reason behind it. We both wish Doug Duncan and his family all the best in getting over this very serious illness.
