Almost all of the winners are moving up in the world while, believe it or not, two of this week's losers have fur.

Winners

Losers

Donna Edwards

Not a bad week: she crushed Peter James, was sworn into Congress and received a lot of love for her maiden speech.

Edward St. John

The big time developer was charged with 11 civil counts of illegal campaign contributions and will pay $110,000 in fines.

Pat Murray

Joining Mike Miller as deputy chief of staff makes him one of the hottest political operatives in the state after working for Michael Busch.

Sheila Dixon

State prosecutors raided the Baltimore mayor's home and the papers got a juicy visual with questions about where her fur coats came from.

Frank Kratovil

The DCCC upgraded him to their Red to Blue program, meaning he could receive much needed financial and strategic support.

Andy Harris

He rolled out his energy plan this week after John McCain and George W. Bush gave the finger to coastal states with a push for offshore drilling.

Jason Green

He climbed from religious outreach for O'Malley in Prince George's County in 2006 to running Barack Obama's voter registration program.

Michael Sarich

The Laurel councilman was publicly reprimanded by his peers for sending out a press release that implied the town was racist for not adding polling booths in his majority minority ward.

William H. Murphy Jr.

The prominent lawyer picked up a new client by joining state Sen. Ulysses Currie's legal team.

Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission

This was a bad week for Montgomery County residents -- unless, of course, if you don't use water.

Roscoe Bartlett

The Wall Street Journal gave him a shout out for flipping on ANWR drilling. Plus: he's the wealthiest member of the state delegation.

Scout O'Malley

The terrier was finally removed from Government House for his aggressive behavior and barking.

Lame, what about Martin

Lame, what about Martin O'Malley who was caught paving a $28 million highway exchange right to Edward St. John's big property in Baltimore County? There was even a photo-op to boot!
