John Delaney (D) in MD 6th Cong. District

Rachel covered his almost literally from last century opponent, Roscoe Bartlett - that is the guy who brushed off as insignificant the thousands of abortions related to rape and incest - for this Congressional seat.

There was some nastiness, apparently, during the Democratic primary, and I don't know anything about Delaney, but Bartlett's performance at this recent town hall is downright disturbing.

This was apparently discussed in our Maryland group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1056121

Bartlett is also the moron who linked student loans and the Holocaust. This guy's a peach.

Thoughts on the race?

(Delaney appears to lead, and this would be a pick up)

Bartlett seems like an out of touch, dangerous for women politician who needs to be pushed on here. From what I can deduce, it seems like this is one that's ready to fall.

The Repubs have put him on that list of 10 to defend.

So what are we going to do to help the Dem here?
