If returns hold, Rep. Al Wynn (D-MD) may become the third Democratic incumbent to be ousted in a primary this cycle.
Wynn's opponent, Donna Edwards, called him Maryland's Joe Lieberman; he voted for the war in Iraq (though now regrets it), voted to repeal the estate tax several times (he has constituents who will benefit), voted for Republican energy initiatives (he has his reasons), voted to intervene in the Terri Schiavo affair (he believed it was the right thing to do), voted for bankruptcy reform (he says he negotiated a better bill, though Rep. Jerry Nadler strongly disagrees.)

SEMINOLE, Fla. (BP)--The independent medical examiner’s report released nearly three months after the death of Terri Schiavo was supposed to illustrate that the Florida woman was in a persistent vegetative state, but a new book authored by the attorney who represented Schiavo’s parents claims the report produced more questions than answers.
David Gibbs recounts the findings of the report and conversations with the medical examiner in “Fighting for Dear Life: The Untold Story of Terri Schiavo and What It Means for All of Us.” Gibbs notes that the medical examiner, Dr. John Thogmartin, was unable to answer questions about Schiavo’s brain function, in spite of the fact that the media reported he had confirmed the diagnosis of the patient’s vegetative condition.
