Baltimore had a pretty shoddy week, but it at least it looks good. And did you hear about the Anne Arundel County police?

Winners

Losers

Robert Rohrbaugh

The Baltimore Sun is doing this state prosecutor's work for him, with the details of his investigation generating headlines and widespread controversy.

Sheila Dixon

The drip-drip-drip of juicy gifts is killing her. From what's leaked into the public sphere, no one is saying she will come out of this unscathed.

Sally Adkins

She was sworn into the Court of Appeals this week, a position of great power in the state.

Anne Arundel County police

They told a former county councilman (and tow-truck operator) he could sell a stolen truck. Plus the department is faced with sexual harassment charges.

John McCain

The GOP presidential nominee will be back next month for another visit -- this one to fundraise -- and has plans to announce some state directors soon.

Baltimore Sun employees

Voluntary buyouts, layoffs, attrition and closing open positions will reduce the paper's workforce by 100 by early August.

Ana Sol Guitierrez

The Montgomery County delegate was honored by the Progressive States Network for helping "to keep any anti-immigrant bill from passing committee during the 7 years of her legislative tenure."

Peter Franchot

He derided the budget cutting process by the Board of Public Works, though it wouldn't have happened had the tech tax not been repealed -- something he pushed for.

Jimmy Choo

The designer has been on the tip of a lot of tongues lately -- rumors say that sales are through the roof. New slogan: 'If you're going to take unsavory gifts, go for the best. Go for the Choos!'

Ronald Lipscomb

His romantic/financial ties to Dixon and contributions to state Democrats got an uncomfortable spotlight in the news. His stock has certainly fallen with the state's powerbrokers.
