Maryland Elections - The Day After Yesterday

The polls are now closed and the results are nearly all in.

Obama overwhelming defeated Hillary Clinton in the Maryland primary election. He received more than 60% of the vote, giving him a highly coveted 11 delegates from the state. Hillary, heir to the thrown of Beelzebub, received only 37% of the vote, but did gather an additional 5 delegates.

The Maryland media hyped this election to lead us to believe that Maryland actually became a key state. In the regard that the election was not already decided, there was an ounce of truth to this. However, Maryland did not push any of the candidates off of the proverbial cliff, nor did it elevate any candidate to the cusp of victory. It was just another state on the way to Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

On the Republican side - no breaking news here. McCain defeated Huckabee, Romney, and Ron Paul. Paul, the only candidate who actually deserves to be elected because he's the only one that is telling the truth, lost to Romney for third place by 751 votes. Blah-Blah-Blah.

The Congressional election, on the other hand, proved to be the most exiting. Maryland State Senator Andy Harris took down dusty and tired incumbent Wayne Gilchrest in the 1st Congressional District. E.J. Pipkin, on the other hand, came in a distant 3rd. Who knew?!!

The 4th Congressional District proved to be the huge upset of the day. Another dusty and tired and incompetent constituent-predator Al Wynn was taken down by challenger Donna Edwards. This is the beginning of the proof that America is tired of the same old promises and lies. Don't run on the platform of change and give us more of the same!

Unfortunately, some other has-been Congressmen were returned to office (in theory as there is usually no contest at the General Election). These include Roscoe Bartlett (who will work some more for term limitations), Steny Hoyer (who will continue to be a hypocritical racist ass), Chris Van Hollen (who will continue to mentor under Hoyer), Dutch Rupersburger (who loves to take personal property from his constituents and give it to developers), John Sarbanes (who only got elected because people remembered his last name being the same as his father), and Elijah Cummings (who takes orders from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson).
