STEVENSVILLE, Md. -- Maryland gubernatorial candidate Doug Duncan has at least one vote.

He performed the Heimlich maneuver on a supporter who choked on a chicken sandwich during a campaign lunch stop over the weekend.

Queen Anne's County Commissioner Gene Ransom got a bite of his meal stuck in his throat. Duncan jumped up and thrust his fists into the commissioner's gut three times and out it popped.

Ransom said it was a terrifying experience.

Duncan's visit was part of his tour of every county in the state. Duncan, a Democrat, announced his bid for governor last week.

Duncan's fist popped out of the commissioner's gut?

Well, he is a Democrat. They're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, but he just lost the entire PETA vote.

After all, it was a chicken getting it's last revenge!

Well, it looks like Mr. Duncan has the chicken choker vote pretty much in hand.

Best fried chicken around! Strouds, in Kansas City!

I'll admit it. I've actually voted for Duncan in the past. He's done a pretty good job running my county. Plus, we republicans never put up anyone who has a prayer of beating him.
