Curry Curious?

Hummm. Why have 800 people signed up to celebrate former Prince George's County Executive Wayne K. Curry's birthday tonight at Camelot's by Martin's in Upper Marlboro?
"Donors" are folking over $50 to $10,000 for the "Tribute to a Maryland Legacy Maker." The proceeds are for the benefit of The LEARN Foundation.
What else are those "donors" paying for? A possible Curry candidacy and return to public office? As what? Certainly not Back to the Future in Upper Marlboro.
"We want to generate broad support for the message that Wayne -- our proud son of Prince George's County -- is admired and enjoys state-wide and regional support,"' organizers wrote in an email blast to Leadership Washington members. "This event is also being held to demonstrate that leaders in the County are united in advancing Prince George's as a key player in the State of Maryland and a strategic assets in the Region."
Well, there is the wildly popular National Harbor.
But has Curry, who never lacked ego, set his sights on the statehouse in Annapolis.
Clearly, Lt. Gov. Brown, who also hails from Prince George's, is not harvesting enough crabs or "advancing Prince George's as a key player in the State of Maryland."

  1. Why did Ivey drop out before he even mounted a campaign vs. Edwards?
