By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

Measuring the Harris-Kratovil race

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

There is little doubt the 1st Congressional District race has become very close, but Republicans are saying their candidate has the edge, while Democrats see it as a dead heat.

The race between Democrat Frank Kratovil and Republican Andy Harris is "incredibly close," Andrew Langer, the president of the Institute for Liberty, told PolitickerMD.com.

Langer, who also serves as Maryland for McCain's Eastern Shore coordinator, said Harris is ahead by about 3 points, but said that lead was closer to 12 points after the February primaries.

Battleground Cecil

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

Maryland's 1st Congressional District race could be decided by the roughly 60,000 voters in Cecil County.

While Republican Andy Harris can claim the Western Shore as his stronghold and Democrat Frank Kratovil the Eastern Shore, Cecil County remains a toss-up with just about 2,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

That's not to say both candidates don't have their vulnerabilities. Observers point to Queen Anne's County and Anne Arundel County as competitive, but none as unpredictable as Cecil.

Langer on Gilchrest: ‘He was always a Democrat in Republican clothing'

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Republican U.S. Rep. Wayne Gilchrest wasn't crossing party lines when he endorsed state's Attorney Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville) because he's never been a Republican, according to Andrew Langer - Maryland for McCain's Eastern Shore coordinator.

Gilchrest currently represents Maryland's 1st Congressional District, but was defeated by state Sen. Andy Harris (R-Cockeysville) in the February primary. Gilchrest endorsed Harris' Democratic opponent -- state's Attorney Frank Kratovil -- early Tuesday morning.
