Slaying the tall KKT in the Rats own backyard and taking down GrayDown in Kalifornistan would be a terrific November two-fer! We can hope!!!

Townsend simply has nothing to show or brag about.

So she’s riding solely on the Kennedy name, which more qualifies someone for prison than elected office.

[KellyAdmirer]

Merely by keeping her from running away with the race, he is dooming any ideas she and her supporters may have about higher office. And that is a good thing in and of itself, regardless of who actually wins.

[goldstategop]

LOL! And she doesn't even have JFK's good looks or charisma to wow the public into sweeping her into office.

[goldstategop]

If KKT can't win Maryland rest assured she won't be considered for a Rat Vice Presidential slot any time soon.

A few years ago, she was given control of the state's juvenile justice system, and made a high-profile project out of its boot-camp rehab system. It quickly turned into a disaster, so much so that the governor had to take it away from her.

Can anyone elaborate on this? Naturally being a Kennedy, I'm would assume that the boot-camp rehab was made more lenient and is having cost overruns, but can someone from MD set the record straight?

The juvenile justice system went for a boot camp experiment. Sounded like a good idea, but apparently the screening of the guards left something to be desired. Some kids got beat up by overzealous guards, and they and their families got some hefty settlements from the state.

KKT is a laughing stock. I have even met liberals who admit she is a clymer. However....Never rule out the Rats' well-oiled voter fraud machine. That's how they stole the gubernatorial election here 4 years ago.

That's how they stole the gubernatorial election here 8 years ago.

It could happen — a fairly conservative Republican could win this fall in Maryland.

Let's hope so. BTW, what is his stance on Maryland's draconian gun laws?

[Salgak]

Well, it would be a full circle, after the Liberal Rat Mark Warner took the Governor's Mansion in Virginia. . .

COuld you imagine the humiliation at being the first Democrat to lose Maryland in like a million years? She'd probably have trouble getting invited back to the compound.

[LetsRok]

Notice how the press aways refer to her as Kathleen KENNEDY Townsand instead of Kathy Townsand. They sure aren't as formal with "Bob" Erlich. Her "name" is all she has going for her. She's on the wrong side of all the issues that Governor Glendening has been stonewalling.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I'll take a Republican in Maryland, even a RINO: just to STICK it to the 'rats. (I'll support a liberal Republican over a liberal Demon-rat any day--and a conservative over a liberal, too!)

Same here, we have to take what we can in Maryland.

Especially aganist a Kennedy.
