Inauguration and transition

Inaugural date

Governor O'Malley began his second term on January 12, 2011.

Transition team

As a reeelected incumbent, Martin O'Malley did not have the same level of transition activity as some newly elected governors. His Lieutenant Governor, Anthony G. Brown also returned to serve another term

September 14, 2010 primary

O'Malley faced token opposition in J.P. Cusick and Ralph Jaffe; between the two of them, their vote share amounts to less than 15%, leaving the incumbent to gallop away with the voters' blessing to seek a third term.

For the GOP, Maryland was the stage for another battle between and establishment favorite, well-connected to the party and adept at maneuvering in political waters, and a newcomer backed by the Tea Party. Sarah Palin's endorsement and a last minute push by supporters wasn't enough to bring Murphy within striking distance and he fell to Ehrlich by a 5:1 ratio.[2]

From 2003 to 2007, Ehrlich was Maryland chief executive, making him the first Republican to helm the state since the late 1960s. Two decades Murphy's senior and with statewide name recognition, Ehrlich was already commanding the field with only 2% of precincts reporting.[3] Some observers suggest that Ehrlich may benefit in the general election from having faced Murphy in the primary season.

Polls taken during the primary testing the electoral waters for a race between O'Malley and Ehrlich showed a dead heat. Democrats held a 2:1 registration edge over the GOP in Maryland. On the other hand, during his term on office, Ehrlich took positions on issues such as minimum wage and mandating employer provided health care that would tar his conservatives credentials in some states but which set him out as the sort of Republican that Maryland would elect.

Polling

General election polling

Ehrlich had more or less every registered Republican in the state on his side and was walking away with the Independent vote. But in Maryland, that isn't enough by itslef. O'Malley argued that returning the governorship to GOP hands would damage Maryland, something that stymied Ehrlich's attempt o get the same crossover support that won him the race in 2002.

Primary election polling

In a Magellan poll of 750 likely voters taken on June 29, 2010, Democratic incumbent Martin O'Malley trailed his Republican challenger, Bob Ehrlich 43% to 46%.[14] The same poll found that Ehrlich enjoyed a 51% 'Favorable' rating while Gov. O'Malley had gone 'upside down', with 'Unfavorable' opinion slightly edging 'Favorable' opinion, 45% to 41%.

Rasmussen also showed a remarkable trend in this traditionally blue state. July 8, 2010 polls results put Ehrlich at 47% to O'Malley's 45%.[15] Preceding polls going back to late February show that O'Malley's one time six point lead has slowly eroded.[16][17][18] As the incumbent, Martin O'Malley was also plagued by voter dissatisfaction with his job performance; those who 'strongly disapproved' of him represented a third of the voters he needed in November. Voters who 'somewhat' or 'strongly' disapprove of O'Malley's leadership totaled 48%, while those 'somewhat' and 'strongly' in approval added up to 50%, an edge, if a worryingly small one.

Contrasting O'Malley's numbers as the governor to his numbers as a candidate, his positives slightly outweighed his negatives - 49% to 45%. Opponent Bob Ehrlich posted a 54% to 37% spread on the same question, meaning that O'Malley had a deficit to make up before voters headed to the polls.[19]

The tightening of the race intensified the attention pollsters pay to the looming contest. On July 14, 2010, Public Policy Polling released new numbers putting O'Malley and Ehrlich at 45% and 42%, respectively.[20] Realistically, such poll results meant the race was neck and neck. DC based political news serviced Real Clear Politics moved its own weighting of the gubernatorial contest slightly to reflect the new polls from Rasmussen and PPP, giving the GOP's Ehrlich a tiny 0.3% lead.[21] Closing out July, the Baltimore Sun's survey have O'Malley a tiny lead, 45% to Ehrlich's 42%, with 7% of voters still deciding.[22] Patrick Gonzales, who ran the Sun's poll, noted the undeniably tight numbers and said, "it's clear that either candidate could win in November."[23]

On his since shuttered website, he added that he exited the race in order to give his family the support that would allow his wife to accept an executive level job and because he felt his obligations to his law firm's clients meant he did not have the time to campaign. He endorsed Larry Hogan for the GOP gubernatorial nominee; Hogan, however, soon left the race, himself.
