| Anti-War Republican Loses Primary in Md. |
| 2008-02-14 |
| A nine-term Republican congressman critical of the Iraq war has been defeated by a well-funded state senator in Maryland's primary. Rep. Wayne Gilchrest was narrowly defeated Tuesday by state Sen. Andy Harris. Gilchrest voted to go to war in Iraq but later said he regretted the decision. A year ago, he was one of two Republicans in Congress to vote for a withdrawal timeline. Gilchrest called the campaign the most intense of his political career. Harris depicted Gilchrest as too moderate for Maryland's 1st congressional district, which includes the state's Eastern Shore and parts of the Baltimore suburbs. |

| #3 I tell you that if the Trunks had at least one ball in the set, they'd run hard on the Donk's backstabbing and the success in Iraq. Play it, and play it hard. Nothing turns out voters like anger [remember the last run on corruption]. The Donks played with our troops lives, its time they pay. But watch the Trunks woose out. |

| #2 Bad driving isn't their only fault. Lee never trusted them either. |

| #1 Narrowly defeated, but only because his opponent was "well-funded", meaning, some rich guy bought the election. Ya gotta love the AP. |
