Congressional Races Getting Interesting - "State Sen. Jamie Raskin and Del. Joseline Peña-Melnyk picked up the endorsement Monday of a pair of national progressive groups in their bids for Congress. Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (BoldProgressives.org), which represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, made the endorsements in separate emails to supporters on Monday, frequently comparing the two to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren."

Kudos to the County Council, and especially Jessica Fitzwater for Frederick County, for repealing the English-only ordinance! Oh, and Blaine, we understand. English spelling is hard.

WAKE UP: Here's Maryland Juice (aka David Moon) in a news article disagreeing with Democratic Party consultants about whether Dems can carry on with a "business as usual" attitude: http://www.cecildaily.com/news/state_news/article_c01f4023-bc1d-5263-a584-59811bc107bc.html

WASHINGTON - Maryland Democrats, looking to rebound from the upset victory of Republican Larry Hogan over Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, are debating whether to treat the loss as a brief hiccup in the blue state’s politics or as a sign of more serious voter discontent.
