The name-calling is ratcheting up in the Republican battle to unseat Rep. Wayne Gilchrest in the 1st Congressional District, with a new TV ad unleashing one of the most lethal of GOP curse words: liberal.
The Club for Growth, which has already endorsed Baltimore County Sen. Andrew Harris, said it is spending $250,000 for the ad that allies Republican Gilchrest with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying he votes more often with Democrats than any other Republican. The TV spot also links E.J. Pipkin, an Eastern Shore senator trying to unseat the nine-term congressman, with Democratic Gov. Martin O?Malley because he voted for the governor?s budget last year.
