EASTON -- The legislative chair of the Sierra Club's Maryland chapter says Republican Andy Harris "is one of the most vicious people you could possibly imagine."

Jan Graham made the comments at a fundraiser for Congressional candidate Frank Kratovil (D- Stevensville) on Friday.

"I testified before Andy Harris's committee on more than one occasion. Andy Harris is one of the most vicious people you could possibly imagine," Graham told the crowd about the state Senator from Cockeysville who is Kratovil's Republican opponent.

EASTON -- Congressional candidate Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville) says he believes his campaign is tied with Republican Andy Harris's.

"The most recent ones showed us at 36, tied at 36," said Kratovil of Harris's camp at a Friday night fundraiser.

Kratovil was referencing an internal poll released last month by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

"There was a rumor that he [Harris] did an internal one and it showed us even better than that," Kratovi told PolitickerMD.com. "But you know - that's rumors."

    Who's afraid of a filibuster?

    Nobody can doubt that the Republicans in the Senate will obstruct as soon as that seems politically safe. Right-wing pundits, from Rush Limbaugh to the Wall Street Journal editorial page are already egging them on furiously.
