The end of the line for illegal immigration supporter Douglas Duncan?

The WashTimes predicts that he's bitten off more than he can chew and, once he loses the Maryland governor's race his career will be finished: "Doug Duncan's end?"

Since 1974, no Maryland politician except Sen. Barbara Mikulski has ever lost an election for statewide office and managed to salvage a political career. Of course, Mr. Duncan could be the once-in-a-generation politician who overcomes the odds. If he does, it won't be because of his record in Montgomery County.

As we've pointed out on this page, most recently in connection with Gaithersburg's debate over "day labor" sites, Mr. Duncan thinks fostering an illegal-alien underclass serves Montgomery County's best interests and has been known to play partisan hardball in support of it. He has supported lower in-state college tuition for illegals. He supports allowing immigrants to use ID cards like Mexico's fraud-ridden matricula consular to obtain county services. He also has suggested that his critics equate illegals with terrorists.

If this turns out to be the last gasp of Mr. Duncan's political career, Maryland will be the better for it.

Based on my past coverage of him, I heartily agree. Previously: Montgomery County's Douglas Duncan paying price for supporting illegal immigration. Unfortunately: Martin O'Malley also supports illegal immigration.
