In Maryland’s 4th congressional district, Glenn Ivey won’t challenge Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards after all.

In other Maryland news, I was reminded of a Dave Weigel thought: Any Republican who wants Michael Steele out as chairman of the RNC ought to run a poll of how he would do in a match-up against Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who currently has lousy approval ratings. Steele presumably wouldn’t poll that badly, and it might tempt him to throw his hat in the ring — he’s mentioned an interest in that job in the past.
