The last moderate Republican of any stature was Connie Morella and she was defeated by Chris van Hollen (D).

Yeah, ol' Roscoe's a prince! Just shows you what a little gerrymandering will do. Steele is a national joke, of course, and Bobby Ehrlich's former Lt. Gov. (no surprises there).

As I'm sure you'll recall, before Ehrlich was governor he was a US Congressman, part of Newt's "Class of '94" Contract on America gang of thugs.

What do you think of Van Hollen? As far as his national exposure is concerned I like what I see but I have no idea how he does in his district.
