The election for governor is hardly 90 days away.
Now is the moment for candidates to make the broadest appeal they can, while also working their loyal base.
So naturally, Robert Ehrlich has picked a running mate, whose husband either overuses or underthinks the send button on his e-mail.
This guy is reported in the media to have sent out a note explaining that a former employee's business success was due to minority set-aside programs.
This guy also - it is alleged - sends out anonymous notes from an e-mail address he decided to call:
sissy12pants@aol.com.
He denies the sissy pants gambit but not the minority set-aside comment - directed at a Black man.

Why 'o why do GOP candidates so often get fouled up in quasi-racial tantrums?
They have had decades to break themselves of this habit but they just can't seem to stay away from this stuff.
I registered Republican at age 18; it took me about 10 days to see the long-term problem with that.
