Could that someone be one Gregg Bernstein?
Do enough people even know what a State's Attorney is and what they do all day to be convinced to care?
... hope these two have a debate, at least.

A snowball's chance?
Could someone possibly unseat Patricia Coates Jessamy after 15 years and three re-elections as State's Attorney?
Could that someone be one Gregg Bernstein?

As of right now Bernstein doesn't even have a campaign website. I was hoping to find some information on how I could help out, since this has become the race that I care about the most this year. My enthusiasm for Bob Ehrlich evaporated when he said that he'd cancel the Baltimore Red Line. What's a voter who supports both capital punishment and public transportation supposed to do? :-/

He looks exactly like Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.

I think the Ehrlich's main opposition to the Red Line is that there's no money for it. I don't think that he's opposed to sensible public transportation initiatives.
(Of course, some would debate whether or not the Red Line is sensible.)
No money for the Red Line, but they managed to fund the ICC and that monstrous I-95/695 interchange to the Northeast of Baltimore...
And no, I'm not one of those fanatically anti-highway types but it's sad how mass-transit always gets screwed over in favor of road projects. Public transportation in Maryland is a joke. We've got a subway and light-rail line to nowhere along with MARC which operates on the most threadbare shoestring possible. Sure you might have to cut other things, but if the political will were there I'm sure that one of the wealthiest states in the country could afford a few mass transit lines.
As for the Red Line, yes the current design is a big compromise. Ideal would be a heavy-rail subway that stays underground all the way out to Bayview, but while I'm dreaming I'd also like a pony. Modern light rail is pretty capable, and if only they'd run it along Eastern Avenue instead of Boston Street it would serve a much bigger community without having to deal with NIMBY a-holes.
