• Description/Excerpt: In his search for campaign dollars, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley is looking beyond Maryland's borders far more often than the Republican governor he is seeking to replace. Nearly one-third of the $3.4 million that O'Malley (D) and his running mate reported raising during the first part of the year came from donors with addresses in the District, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and other places where voters have no say in Maryland's gubernatorial race. By contrast, a Washington Post analysis found that about 10 percent of the $2.9 million in cash and in-kind contributions reported by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and his running mate in that period came from out-of-state donors.
