Maryland’s 1st congressional district is the main race to watch here.
Conservative Republican Andy Harris will be facing the incumbent dem Kratovil in a rematch of a very close race in 2008.
This race is important as Kratovil is one of of the most vulnerable dems in the nation according to most election sites.
The wild card in this race will be if state sen Pipkin challenges Harris again for the GOP nomination.
In the previous election, incumbent RINO Gilcrest was defeated by the conservative Harris. Harris was supported by most Republican office holders in the state including former (R) Gov. Bob Ehrlich. Mike Steele endorsed the RINO Gilcrest. Just before the closing date to declare for the office, State sen Pipkin jumped into the race which led many to believe there was a back room deal to split the conservative vote to help the rino. Harsis won the GOP nomination anyway.
Rino Gilcrest then pulled a “Scuzzyfavor”(NY 23rd) and endorsed the democrat Kratovil in the general election and, combined with the Obama coattails, led to a very close dem victory.
Wow! That was quick!
What do you have about your guy? Need ever’thin’ you got.
The other thing to watch in Maryland is what, if any, office former gov Bob Ehrlich will run for. A rematch against Martin Omalley for governor or a senate try vs Barbara Mikulski.
A Mikulski race would be interesting for FR due to a dem operative infiltrating FR with the screen name “MD4BUSH”. By out Mikulski as a homosexual, he was able to get an aide to Ehrlich (who also posted on FR) to comment on it and other things that led to the aide to step down. The outing of Mikulski as a homosexual by a democrat operative was virtually ignored by the media that reported on the MD4BUSH story.
