The race is close! There’s already a lot of interest on the Shore in the rematch between Frank Kratovil (incumbent) and Andy Harris (challenger) to represent Maryland’s first district in Congress. But since the election is not until November and there are few reliable polls to let us know who’s ahead, we tend to [...] Citizens Exercising their Rights I’m alternately amazed, amused and appalled by the antics of the ‘Tea Party’.
