Andrew running? Sounds like a yes!

I have it on very good authority that Andrew Harris has made a pretty quick decision and will seek the Congressional seat held by Wayne Gilchrest, with a formal announcement sometime tomorrow.

Obviously this is a developing story, but it appears that the show of support he received at the Maryland GOP gathering over the weekend let him know the effort was viable. Who knows, maybe the comments on my little old blog story assisted as well.

And knowing that the husband of Gilchrest’s communication director is the editor of the Daily Times, methinks I don’t see a lot of good coverage coming from there. But I’ll be happy to pick up the slack.

    [...] According to MonoBlogue it appears that Maryland Sen. Andy Harris is running for the 1st District Congressional seat currently held by Rep. Wayne Gilchrest. Will Harris be able to defeat a 9 term incumbent who has survived multiple primary challenges and thoroughly trounced his general election opponents? [...]

    A. This time the incumbent has all but declared that he doesn’t want to seek another term. Mickey Mouse could actually run and win.

    B. Will he win? If you mean will he beat the Dem, well, I think we all win if the incumbent loses. There are degrees of winning.

    If Andy loses to the incumbent, well, to borrow a phrase overheard after 9-11: We should all be Democrats, then.
