On Talking Points Memo (I think), I saw a blog ad for Mikulski. The context was "a woman belongs in the House...And Senate!" and a brief statement about how the right-wingers are taking out their checkbooks to get rid of Mikulski, so she needs help.
Do any of you in Maryland have any updates on this race? All I know is that the guy running against her, EJ Pipkin, is very well-off and got some buzz for defeating a longtime Dem state senator. And that a poll released a few months ago had her up on him by about 30 points.
Is he closing in on her, or is she just being cautious? Of course, there are no other major races in MD this year, since Bush has zero chance of winning MD and all the House reps are safe. Maybe the state GOP are focusing all their attention on this race, I don't know. You can never be too careful, but there are so many candidates who need money this year. I really wonder if it's wise to donate to someone who seems so safe.
