Letdown

By Brian Griffiths (noreply@blogger.com)

As the Senate GOP Caucus notes, we had a chance to shut down debate on the Death Penalty today:

Senate of Maryland
2009 Regular Session

SB 279 Special Orders
Sen. Gladden

To tell you what this means, let's look at what the not-so-Free State's not-so-dynamic duo has supported in just this edition of Congress.

Kratovil, Harris spar in Cecil College debate

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

NORTH EAST -- Democrat Frank Kratovil said Republican Andy Harris is a partisan and a fake. Harris claimed Kratovil is a liberal and inconsistent on his positions. These were the messages voters heard at Tuesday night's 1st Congressional District debate sponsored by Cecil College and the Cecil Whig.
