Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, and New Jersey's John Cornine, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley ranks right up there as one of the Nation's leading Socialist governors.

Posted by Cato September 10, 2008 Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley sure has been a boon to the Maryland economy. Under his exemplary stewardship, over 2,500 employers have shut down or left the People’s Republic.
