Van Hollen Is Caught Off Guard; Name Is Used by Foe's Web Sites
The GOP candidate for Congress from Maryland's 8th District says it was an opportunity he couldn't let pass. But incumbent Rep. Chris Van Hollen said Charles R. Floyd's Web sites represent "a new low for politics in this area."
Repeating a tactic he used against his Republican primary opponent this year, Floyd bought three Internet domain names with Van Hollen's name and turned them into Web sites carrying unflattering comments about the freshman congressman's record.
Floyd said Van Hollen should have seen it coming.
"I feel if the congressman doesn't have the foresight to buy up certain domain names with his name, does he deserve to be in Congress?" asked Floyd, a retired military officer and State Department employee. "It was up for grabs, so I bought it."

Van Hollen enjoys a large fundraising edge.
Lets show this guy some support.

I just called the campaign and the phones are blazing. They have over 25,000 hits this morning.
This guy could be the dark horse. He is a military conservative...We need guys like this in office. He is not politically correct!!!!
How do ya like the shape of that 3rd District? The whole goal of the last re-districting was a successful move to throw long-term incumbent (RINO) Connie Morella out. All other considerations were secondary.
I've met Floyd - Infantry, Airborne, Ranger - strikes me as an all-around good guy.
