ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich (web | news | bio) has decided to make another run for the governor's office, an informed source tells ABC 7 News.

A spokesman for Ehrlich said he could not confirm or deny our source's information.

The source indicated Ehrlich would formally announce his bid Wednesday, April 7, in Rockville, followed by an event at his childhood home in Arbutus. 

"I think it's a fair choice," said Diane Comfort. "Why not? Why shouldn't he run again?"

Mike Busch, the Democratic Speaker of the state House, says Ehrlich's comeback plan is no surprise.

"I think everybody is expecting the former governor will enter the race,' he said. "Everybody is prepared and everybody looks forward to a debate on the issues."

Ehrlich was elected governor in 2002, becoming the first Republican chief executive in a generation. He lost his 2006 re-election bid to the state's current governor, Martin O'Malley.

"He was OK, but I'm happy with present governor," said Susan Hottle-Schultz.
