Boehner trip won't stop in MD-1
By Wally EdgeThe Hill reports that House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will be making stops in a total of 18 congressional districts in the Northeast and Midwest during the summer recess. And even though he's made numerous appearances in the region on behalf of Pennsylvania Republican candidates, his tour will not include Maryland's 1st.
Andy Harris' campaign believes it has to do with the Minority Leader not viewing the race as competitive. Is that a good or a bad thing when Frank Kratovil appears to be picking up steam?
Meanwhile, Chris Van Hollen takes a few shots at the Ohio Republican today over at Bloomberg.

C'mon Wally, Boehner isn't
C'mon Wally, Boehner isn't stopping because the race has trended the other way in favor of Andy. You hearing something about trending from Kratovil's people makes sense, what else can they say? Of course the race should tighten come September (all races do), but then again, Andy was supposed to win or lose by 1 or 2 in February, right?
If you're just trying to find something witty to add to Boehner not showing up then maybe you could discuss how O'Malley must be semi-more-popular than before and how that must help Kratovil, his soon-to-be (sarcasm here) ally in Washington, right?
