Although he and Fischer are next-door neighbors, Ehrlich has sent a letter to the 1st district's new voters urging them to support the incumbent in the primary. Gilchrest followed up with a letter of his own touting Ehrlich's support, according to Caligiuri.

The two Members spent Friday campaigning together in the district.

RINOs supporting RINOs. I am shocked but not surprised.

"Hopper believes that the club will be heavily involved because "this is the only chance in the nation of knocking off a RINO [Republican in Name Only]."

Wow! Didn't the term RINO originate on FR? Is Fischer a Freeper?

This writer, Chris Cillizza, could use a fact-checker.

A Democratic-led redrawing of the state's Congressional lines added GOP areas in suburban Baltimore to the 1st district, which for the past 10 years has been entirely contained on the Maryland coast.

Not true! The 1st district has contained part of the western shore as long as I can remember. And it has certainly for the past ten years.

As for this guy Ellington, he's said a few things lately that ruffle my feathers. I've been a Maryland Republican a lot longer than he has and I find him offensive.

I heard my first Gilchrest radio commercial this afternoon - on an FM station coming out of Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. I was listening to Rush on the station.

The commercial is very negative, calling Fischer a "trial lawyer" and claiming that Fischer has bragged about defending child abusers.

It refers to Fischer's comments when asked about defending criminals such as child abusers. Fischer said "I'm a lawyer. That's what lawyers do - defend people".

Gilchrest is a nasty SOB. I plan on FAXing his DC office and telling him so.

"this is the only chance in the nation of knocking off a RINO [Republican in Name Only]." "There is going to be significant help from them,"

This is indeed a golden opportunity. All anti-RINO FReepers should go to Fischer's web site and donate something to the campaign.

As for Fischer and his allies, Caligiuri says: "People who need political purism are too naive to be involved in politics, especially in this district."

Count me in that NAIVE group! If I lived in that district, I would be working the phone banks, stuffing envelopes, and putting up signs for Fischer.
