Huge Upset in MD: Harris Defeats Gilchrist

In a little noticed battle outside the beltway, 9-term Republican congressman Wayne Gilchrist was handily defeated by conservative Andy Harris. Gilchrist was a RINO, criticizing everything Bush did, calling for Iraq withdrawal, etc. - yet still won the backing of Bush and the establishment. (Remember Lincoln Chafee?)

Harris won - and as a real conservative.
