UPDATE: MD Election Rumor Mill: Write in Candiate Jim Rutledge for AG? YES I WILL!

Update:  Turns out that this was a well substantiated rumor, but unfortunately, Mr. Rutledge will not be filing to his write in candidacy.  What a shame too.

The repubics of the state of Maryland couldn't come up with anyone to run against Mr. Gansler in the general election because of apparent infighting, and a candidate that wouldn't have had to do anything declined to get involved.  Not surprising really, but if we had just run Micky Mouse or Homer Simpson, they could have pulled off the upset of good old Dougy who's continuing to sand bag against the Woollard case. 

God Bless MD Politics;  Snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat before the window of opportunity even opened. 

MD Election Rumor Mill: Write in Candiate Jim Rutledge for AG? YES I WILL!

There is a rumor spreading around the MD Shooters forum that is advocating for writing in Jim Rutledge (former Republican Senate candidate) for Attorney General in opposition to Doug Gansler (who is unopposed in the general election). 

I cannot substantiate the validity of this idea from the candidate himself, but either way, who cares.  Gansler is now using the power of his office to fight the SAF lawsuit of Woollard vs. MSP's Handgun Permit Review Board, so let's at least make him sweat reelection bid. 

Jim ran in the Republican primary as a strong fiscal and Constitutional conservative who is extremely pro-gun.  That sounds exactly like the man who needs to head Maryland's highest legal office in my opinion.  Just think, a potential victory by Jim as a write-in candidate and a win by Bob for the Gov-ship?  We could get some real changes in this state without having to deal with the stacked legislature.  It's an idea so crazy, it just might work if we get the message around!
