http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/22/AR2005102201220.html?nav=rss_metro When Democratic presidential candidate John F.

Kerry's healthy showing in the 52nd District -- he won one precinct by 69 percent -- and Barg's powerful name-recognition have turned what could have been a routine reelection bid by Frederick into a bitter battle between the two parties and what insiders call a race between "two incumbents."
Too bad his campaign was such a disaster. :eyes:
