The Washington Post reports that the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee rejected Gov. Martin O'Malley's bill to repeal the death penalty, the latest turn in the state's long back-and-forth history on capital punishment. It's hardly the last. In fact, it's not even the last legislative push Maryland will see before spring.

Md. Gov. Martin O'Malley was also a big winner last night, as Marylanders voted overwhelmingly to legalize slot machine gambling in the state. O'Malley will now move quickly to install up to 15,000 slot machines at five locations around the state: Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Cecil, Worcester and Allegany counties. The success of the ballot measure also means that we finally get to stop reading sanctimonious articles about how gambling is sooooo bad. Let us all play slots and never speak about them ever again!
