No longer will this place be a one-party communist dictatorship in this here the People's Republic!! It will be a Dual-Party democracy but with the Red Tide leading the way with the majority in both the House and Senate and we will be back to calling ourselves simply Maryland. I think Maryland Citizens are starting to realize that hiring O'Malley for Maryland's most powerful post was a HUGE mistake and we've been knocked back to "Spendening" politics. Where overspending is key and revenues were never met. O'Malley is making it a lot harder for me to pay my bills! My god! My BGE bill was $384!!!! WHAT THE HELL! YOU CALL THAT PROGRESS!? Aw hell no! We've had tax increases (DURING A RECESSION NO LESS!), failure to control BGE prices (63% increase. Ehrlich's fault? Not even close! Try Glendening's deregulatory plan and O'Malley's failure to control prices), let's not forget that O'Malley is overspending on needless projects, and that we are currently in serious budget crisis. Man, that's GREAT progress! You are telling me that O'Malley is the greatest thing that's ever happened to Maryland? What? Have you been eating your Sugarcoated O'Malley flakes? Cereal shapes include Dollar Signs, Dollar bills, Guitars, and of course figures shaped liked Michael Busch and for your prize inside: You get a new tax and a LOWER APPROVAL RATING. WHICH CURRENTLY STANDS AT A VERY MEAGER 28.6%!!!! NO WAY, Mr. O'Malley is a fraud, a crooner, and a criminal. He should be criminally charged with STEALING FROM the state of Maryland and its citizens. In 2010, this state is going to see a major changing of the guard! LET'S GET THE RED TIDE IN AND FLOOD THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNISTS AND FASCISTS out of CONGRESS!!! YEE-HAW! ROLL TIDE! You obviously don't know "tongue-in-cheek" when you read it. Perhaps its the drugs your taking that make you believe a majority of Marylanders will change their stripes in 2010. Face it! The state is filled with people dependent on the government for handouts or a paycheck. They'll vote for anybody that promises more government at the expense of somebody else.

We have 2 parties in this state and nation, the Stupid party (DEMS) and the Evil Party (REPUB) the question I ask myself is, is it better go give my money to something stupid vs. something evil? I myself am not thrilled with the notion, by I do appreciate the irony of thinking things through to go with the stupid solution

I believe that responsible people lose less when the government gets nothing done.

How is this for an idea, Since Since Martin O'Liar said that he had a plan for stopping the rate hike that we all send our BGE bills to him in Anapolis for him to pay the differance betwwen the regulated and deregulated rates? If he had a plan to stop the increases he should have a plan to pay for them.

Same ol' five or six Maryland Republican Party goons on this post. They blame Martin O'Malley and the Sun for the monopoly called Constellation Energy Group. What the State of Maryland needs is good old fashioned competition (that's what Republicans used to like) in the form of a public private partnership that will finance, build and operate modern power plants that compete with CEG. That and that alone will make our energy bills go down.

I simply feel it is important to remind everybody how much they both misled the sheep about what they could actually do to change the situation. O'Malley and the Sun gladly blamed Ehrlich, but now they are silent when rates just keep going up. Some of us were smart enough to see through O'Malley's bluster from the very beginning. We also see right through the whole "Structural/Inherited " deficit nonsense.

We don't know that it won't work because the state government won't stop meddling. Competition won't emerge until the competitors have confidence that they will be allowed to run their business as they se fit.

Hey screwball, Maryland is in deep sh*t. I don't take any drugs. Marylanders are finally starting to see the light: O'Malley is a criminal and he's become a liar. So don't you come out and say that I am a druggist just because I have my beliefs. You will not talk to me in that insolent and unacceptable tone. His promise of strengthening the middle class was just a way to buy the middle class's vote. "I promise to help strengthen the middle class and fight for fair electric prices." HELL NO, he didn't even do anything for this here the People's Republic of Maryland. He placed all of the blame on Ehrlich. Oh, it's very hard to do anything as a republican governor when you have a heavy democrat presence in the People's Republic of Maryland Politburo. Ehrlich tried his best to get fair pricing, but the democrats just loved saying NO to any idea he had. O'Malley is a crooner and all of his constituents are frauds and liars. They pledged to help but all they are doing is getting their paycheck and laughing at the middle class. This criminal of a governor will be a one-term worm! Republicans in 2010!!!

I agree with everything you are saying other than I think you are giving the voters too much credit. I have no reason to believe that they won't continue to buy O'Malley's nonsense. Those of us that were paying attention knew he was a liar some time during hsi first term as Mayor.

I don't know what they voted with in 2006, but I'm not optimistic that they will use their brains in 2010. They fact is that the politics of making excuses for individual failure sells. People want to hear that their problems are the fault of somebody else and that the government is is going to coreect those injustices for them. The fact that the politicians that make those promises never deliver is somehow forgotten each and every time. That's how you get a failed city like Baltimore that keeps electing the same people over and over again.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Maryland.

This is just like Enron. Will we have rolling blackout and the majority of the population that can't afford their energy bills before we notice? Apparently, as a country we have learned nothing from one of the greatest mistakes of my lifetime. But that is what happens when the Oil Business is running the country. They make decsions that help them make money. Ann wrote: Give us back our power plants. Let the PJM go back to transmission only. Get rid of the speculative nature of the deregulated markets. Void deregulation of the utility industry. I thought Enron was bad, but this is 100xs worse because it affects many more states and people than Enron every did. The utility business is not a commodity like pork bellies. Tell FERC we have had enough.

You want somebody to blame for the high cost of energy, pay attention to who has blocked the harvesting of vast U.S. based oil reserves. Figure out why nobody has built a nuclear power plant in decades. The government and the environmental lobbies are to blame, not the for profit companies.

Can anybody tell me why BGE and Constellation were profitable BEFORE the rate caps came off and since then we have needed a liberal slathering of Vasoline to deal with electric bills, or they both were going to lose money?
I know I'm not smart enough to sit on the PSC, but apparently they aren't smart enough to ask the right questions. And that goes for both Erhlich's and O'Malley 's appointees.

Can you tell me why the nationwide grid has had so little investment that it is in desperate need of repair or replacement? Can you tell me why there hasn't been a significnat power plant built in Maryland for quite some time? Those are the hidden costs of regulation. With profit caps there is very limited incentive to invest the billions necessary to upgrade the infrastructure.

This is out of control. There has to be another way for us to live. Please tell me how a country so "rich" and bailing others out, is screwing its residents. When will it end?
