A few days back I wrote a piece about Harry Sampson running in the MD-1 Democratic Primary to eventually take on Wayne Gilchrest (R, MD-1) in the General Election.
I did some research, and I found that in 2002, Ann Tamlyn, the Democratic Challenger, raised $0 total in contributions during the entire campaign.
How much did Wayne raise?
$382,349. (Open Secrets.org)
The truth is Tamlyn was a token candidate. I think read somewhere that she turns 80 this year. In 2004 it's going to be a different story, and we are going to send Gilchrest packin'.
