Maryland?  They love psycho, radical, far left wing nuts.  It will go far in MD politics.

Interesting.  Can he be certified to handle classified material?  I would think the inability to get a security clearance would be significantly limiting to the process of being a senator.

I think Hillary had a clearance.

And she still does, even after gross negligence of handling classified material.

I'm not sure why someone who is a convicted felon should be eligible to run for any public office.

Bradley Manning is a felon; Chelsey Manning, so far, has committed no crimes.  No problem.

First campaign ad is out.

I dunno...very dark. I am not at all comfortable with his rhetoric glorifying confrontation against other Americans.

I thought it was pretty dark as well. Usually campaigns want to show hope and a way forward, not scare people. I can't wait to see the first debate of Chelsea Manning and Ben Cardin.
