    Already have a new Senate President since the 8th. Not likely going to be better.

    Term limits. We need TERM LIMITS. No one should be able to live their entire life off of our tax money (talking about the federal level too). in MD, there are term limits for the governor. Why not for other politicians?

    The problem isn't term limits. The problem is being unable to articulate and persuasively convince enough voters in the state to move on to someone else. We don't need more laws to force something we're too demographically weak to change through the very process that kept O'Malley's designee from getting the governorship. The issue is a core concentration of well-heeled activists and voters in MoCo and HoCo exorcising their liberal guilt demons by keeping establishment Dems in power.

    As a side bar, we could look at keeping the public employee unions (who rake in cash from the teachers, the firefighters, and the cops) from having the political spending power they have. Unions collecting from employees of private companies? Fine. But government employees, funding the elections of politicians who negotiate advance deals with the very unions with whom they'll be contracting once in office? No. And without those unions paving the way for them, many of the entrenched die-of-old-age-in-office perma-politicians would never be serially re-elected.

    But don't kid yourself: the issue isn't the lack of term limits. It's the fact that most of Maryland's campaign financing flow and votes come from wealthy liberal enclaves. If term limits chucked out one liberal after two spins around the state house, those same people would just line up somebody even worse. The struggle is with the individual donors, voters, and enablers, not with the state constitution.

    For what it's worth: if I lived in a county or district in Maryland that put somebody I really liked and respected to work in the state house, I wouldn't want to be forced say goodbye to them if they're doing the job well and accountably. Why would I?
