The Congressional race to represent Maryland's Eastern Shore easily has the nastiest campaigns in Maryland right now. And with any good campaign comes excellent political theater.
So I'm going to start tracking some of the nastier ads as they come out, and try to provide as much counterspin as possible.
This will hardly be an exhaustive list of all the advertising in the race — there are nine candidates, after all. But if you have any tips or want to shoot me more campaign ads from the First District, get me at tlobianco@washingtontimes.com.
First Up — "Pipkin, Hero to Democrats"
Who made it — Andy Harris' campaign
Counterspin — State Sen. E.J. Pipkin, Eastern Shore Republican, did indeed vote for Democrat Gov. Martin O'Malley's 2007 budget. But he was joined by six other Republican senators and Republicans routinely vote for Democrat budgets in both the House and Senate.
