Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD 1) may endorse DEMOCRAT in November

from Politics1:

MARYLAND: Congressman Wayne Gilchrest -- a GOP moderate defeated for renomination in his primary earlier this month -- is now considering endorsing the Democratic nominee for his seat. Gilchrest was defeated by conservative State Senator Andy Harris (R). Gilchrest's chief of staff and campaign manager Tony Caligiuri told The Hill that the NRCC "never offered to do any polling for us or really do anything financially for us before the primary" even though Gilchrest had regularly helped the NRCC raise money. Caliguiri even hinted a Gilchrest endorsement of Queen Anne’s County State’s Attorney Frank Kratovil (D) was possible. "No decision has been made about anything," said Caliguiri. Further, he added that Gilchrest "isn’t likely to be involved in GOP politics in the years ahead."

1. The Repubic primary was MEAN

There were three guys in it ...... the winner, another guy who is a state Senator and real loonie, and Gilchrist. Thelma and Louis or whoever the fuck that Club for Growth couple is were all over the teevee tying Gilchrist to "San Francisco Liberal Nancy Pelosi" and "Liberal Governor Martin O'Malley".

I have no idea if Harris can win, but that district is in Maryland's "Crazy Motherfucker" zone.

2. Reportedly, NRCC was worried...

...that they might not be able to hold the seat if Gilchrist lost.
