Senator Andy Harris Wins Primary Race









It's Official Ladies & Gentlemen! Andy Harris is one step closer to becoming your next 1st District Congressman.
It has been said time and time again, it's almost impossible to beat out an incumbent. I was told the odds were 99.5% against Andy Harris. Wayne Gilchrest is a wonderful man and has served our United States better than most men and women have. However, today has proven that the 1st District Voters want a change and they believe Andy Harris is the man that can bring us what we want and need.
I've been working with Andy for some 9 months now and it truly has been an honor and a pleasure to give my 100% support towards his Campaign. This evening I went to Kent Island where the Harris Campaign was holding their Victory Party. The Pipkin Campaign was in the building right next door but left the building quite early. E.J. Pipkin is also a fine man who fought hard to win and will continue to serve the U.S. Senate and with any hope he'll deliver in the Senate everything he campaigned about issue wise.
When I arrived it was announced that the polls were going to be left open another 90 minutes and Andy said, let's get out to the Polls and get some more votes. And that's exactly what we did. We headed over to a local Elementary School in the freezing cold and shook hands with quite a few people still coming in to vote.
It turns out a tractor trailer wrecked on the Kent Narrows Bridge and close all traffic for 4 hours! People were delighted they still had the chance to vote, so my hat is tipped to the Judge who made the decision to hold the polls open longer.
In one of the photos above you can see where Andy was reading the results from the electronic polling booths and he had won this area by quite a bit, so we were off to a positive start.
When we returned to the party, in walked Former Governor Erlich and his beautiful Bride. The atmosphere was so positive, there wasn't any doubt in any one's mind that Andy wasn't going to win. It just seemed to be a sure shot.
In the end, once the numbers started rolling in, the place just started going nuts. The guy who beat out an incumbent for Senate, the guy who was fighting the 99.5% odds of losing was actually winning! I'm told Andy won by more than 4,000 votes! Ladies & Gentlemen, that's unbelievable!
The numbers will be more accurate in the morning but we're talking about a 8 to 10% victory margin!
Nevertheless, congratulations to Andy Harris but more importantly, congratulations 1st District Voters. It's time to end illegals getting ANY kind of photo ID! It's time to cut taxes and do what's right for the people voting Andy into Office.
I don't know about all of you but as far as I see it, Andy is a sure shot to with the General Election as well. Heck, I can't even tell you at this time who won the Democratic side? My guess would be Kratovill, I'll check in a few hours. It's late and I need to get some rest.

    I woke up a little after 4 AM and couldn't help but log on to look at your blog to see if there was anything on the outcome and I saw the post of the Harris victory, thanks, I then went back to sleep.
