Funny


Wasn't it Brian Griffith - probably the best known republican blogger in Maryland who issued an unendorsement of Harris for running one of the natiest campaigns in Maryland Political history?

Maggie what are you talking about


Maggie,
Please - the Kratovil team getting nasty. Andy is the one telling lies and flaunting "misquotes" on tv and trying to spin Frank as something he is not. Do you not recall the same tactics being used against Pipken and Gilchrest about 9 months ago? Ugly, ugly, ugly- that is how Harris is running HIS campaign. Kratovil beat him in fundraising this quarter, expect Harris to get even uglier.

Isn't it amazing that when


Isn't it amazing that when there is a close race, people always find away to be naty and get personal. Shame on the Kratovil team for being this way.

The greatest thing about


The greatest thing about finally seeing these FEC reports is knowing that Harris did a poll.

It was paid for on 08/25/2008 to Arthur J Finkelstein & Associates, Inc.

Where's the poll Meekins? Is the Kratovil campaign still smoking something or were you too scared to release a poll that said the same thing and still lied. You and Harris are despicable.

BTW tell Harris my kids won't be coming over anymore, I don't want my kids around loaded weapons. Common sense isn't what it used to be.

Oh and lied about fighting in the First Gulf War, and saying Frank was for Amnesty and against drilling.

So many LIES!

So I guess Frank Kratovil


So I guess Frank Kratovil will end his tirades against Andy Harris on accepting money from big Energy. Constellation and their lobbyist both gave this quarter. Funny how money talks, and, well, you know the rest...
