Well, he divorced his wife of many years so he could marry his chief-of-staff, who he knocked up.

He was the first County Executive in Maryland history to be elected to three terms.

One of my liberal friends from Maryland said that we could find his picture in the dictionary under "boring". And he even thought Glendenning was boring as a UM prof as well (yes he is a former student of the former governor!).

I read the wikipedia profile for him and it sounded like he was a failure as Governor.

I remember hearing that he was very unpopular in his second term, and a lot of people attributed the 2002 Democratic nominee Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's defeat against Bob Ehrlich to this (she had been the Lieutenant Governor).
