It's time for PolitickerMD.com's Winner and Losers, and as Barbara Mikulski could attest lately, you win some, you lose some. Also: scandals account for two losers, while Al Wynn cashes in and Bob Ehrlich takes his place in history.

Winners

Losers

Mike Miller

Even as he tells the state press corps something they already knew, somehow he can keep them hanging on his every last breath.

David Brinkley

Either his personal life is leading to professional trouble or rumors have hijacked his public image. Whatever it is, he needs to reassure his colleagues -- fast.

Al Wynn

After a two and a half decades in public office, he's finally raking in the dough in the private sector.

John Sarbanes

Despite Hoyer's push, he didn't pick up Al Wynn's seat on House Energy and Commerce committee.

Heather Mizeur

She became the most high-profile of the low-profile superdelegates with a story on the front page of Washington Post.

Michael Cryor

Defending Ulysses Currie, who at best seems to have acted unethically, will end up a liability.

Bob Ehrlich

Whether or not he runs again, his portrait is a reminder of the only Republican to win statewide in nearly three decades.

Ellen Sauerbrey

Call it a welcome return to politics from diplomatic work: one of the most prominent political columnists in the country is using her as an example of what NOT to do in a campaign.

Barbara Mikulski

She proves she is a true friend with a steadfast commitment to Hillary Clinton and a tireless worker for her beloved chairman, Ted Kennedy.

Barbara Mikulski

While it mattered little to her political future, Mikulski was heavily invested personally in Clinton's candidacy, and the end must have been painful for her.
