Ron Paul: Politicker.com PhotoCOLLEGE PARK -- U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) dropped into Maryland Thursday to show his support for five of Maryland's Republican Congressional candidates. The event -- designed to raise cash for the candidates' campaigns -- was held at the Comcast Center at the University of Maryland in College Park.

Paul, who made an unsuccessful bid for president in 2008, says a lot of enthusiasm resulted from the campaign.

The League of Women Voters of Howard County will be holding a Congressional candidate's forum Tuesday evening.

The event will feature candidates from the 3rd and 7th Congressional Districts.

Ron Paul (R-Texas) will publicly endorse Maryland's Republican candidates for U.S. House at a fundraiser on Thursday.

Each candidate has been invited to speak at the rally. Richard Matthews (MD-2), Peter James (MD-4), Collins Bailey (MD-5) and Mike Hargadon (MD-7) have all confirmed.

The Maryland Congressional delegation voted 7 to 1 on Friday in favor of a revised economic recovery bill.

The U.S. Senate added provisions and voted on an updated rescue bill Wednesday, after the U.S. House failed to pass a $700 billion bailout package for the financial sector on Monday.

Congress passed the revised bill on Friday 263 to 171.

Elijah Cummings will debate his Republican opponent in October, but the incumbent congressman is not accepting Republican challenger Mike Hargadon's invitation.

The Cummings campaign said Cummings had agreed to a debate on October 7, after receiving an invitation from the Howard County League of Woman Voters.

In late August, Hargadon challenged his opponent to two debates: a Howard County event in September and a Baltimore event in October.
