On Ron Smith today the House Minority leader took credit for the Republican victories in District 31.
However, this is far from the case.
According to multiple sources in the area, the Republican candidates in district 31 balked at the price tag of the State Party proposal, eschewed the “help”, and as a result, did not receive the funding candidates in other districts received.
The candidates in that district, stood as a team, turned down the “help”, and won.
Maybe there is a valuable lesson here for future candidates and the state party…
Will Maryland Republicans learn any lessons from 2006?

New Staff at MD GOP
Today the MD GOP announced its new staff to lead the party over the next four years. After reading the press release, one can see that the party is getting back to its Maryland roots by hiring Marylanders to fill important positions within the party.
For some time, there has been much debate within the party whether or not to hire out of state talent or rely on homegrown talent to move the party forward. Past Chairman John Kane clearly subscribed to the out of state philosophy and it looks like Chairman Jim will rely on the locals to run the party.
Following the disaster known as 2006, it may be a good thing.
Maybe not, we’ll see…
Does anybody know these new people?
