Do the Dems Have Their Groove Back?

Or is the electorate mad at Bush? What do you think?

Here's the Post's take:

Although some chalked up the defeat to the national Democratic tide, the state's ample supply of political analysts said yesterday that other factors contributed.

An array of developments hurt Republicans, including aggressive union activism, an effective Democratic turnout operation, Maryland's shifting demographics and frustration with gridlock in the State House. Steele's pursuit of African American voters fell flat, and Ehrlich's attempts to paint Baltimore as an urban wasteland might have backfired, they said.

The Democrats should think of this election as a gift, and get ready to work extremely hard for 2008. the Republicans will not take this lying down.
