An Electoral Gimmick

Last week, Martin O'Malley decided that slots would be a good thing for the people of Baltimore, particularly in order to save the Preakness. I just wonder how that characterization by O'Malley differs from when he referred to slots as a "gambling gimmick." What made O'Malley change his mind.

If O'Malley is going to campaign in a Kerry-esque manner as it regards to flip-flopping on issues, he will not be long for this Governor's race. And if the average Democratic primary voter is as vehemently anti-slots as some would have us belief, he may not make it past Doug Duncan in the Democratic primary.

Maybe the O'Malley flip-flop is an "Electoral Gimmick."
