The Democratic Race in Eight Minutes

following up on the "Democratic Race in Seven Minutes." Boy what a difference a minute makes.

Congratulations Donna Edwards

Donna Edwards handily won her seat in Congress on Tuesday. She had defeated Albert Wynn in a primary and in the definition of sour grapes, promptly resigned his seat. A special bill was signed by Governor O'Malley, to allow for this special election. Edwards will face off again against her same opponent in November, this time with the benefit of incumbency.

I've had her sign on my lawn since early this year. Go Donna!

There's a lot to talk about now that the long primary battle is over. I have a number of posts ready to queue up but let's start with a campaign commercial that you will likely never see again. It only aired briefly during the 1964 campaign and its creator, Tony Schwartz, died on June 14.
