Incumbent WAYNE GILCHRIST (R-MD 1) is LOSING his primary...
With 7% counted:

Andy Harris: 42%
Wayne Gilchrist: 31%

According to Politics1, "The NRCC has been assisting Gilchrest, fearing a more conservative GOP nominee would be unelectable in November in this swing district"

1. Is Harris...
more conservative? Who is the Dem running in this district?

2. Gilchrist started to oppose the war--he'll reap the punishment for that.

3. There is no such thing as too conservative for the Eastern Shore.
The only place it might hurt is in Anne Arundel County (think money),

4. This is my district
Harris and Pipkin are both running to the far right of incumbent Gilchrist. Gilchrist is a worthless congressman who, if you listen to those candidates is too moderate for our district. Our candidate in this race is Frank Kratovil (or at least he's the one I voted for). He looks like he could do pretty well in the Fall. One can hope.
