The Gazette profiles both John McCarthy and Daniel Fox, candidates for State's Attorney.

The Gazette also sizes up the race for Montgomery County Executive.

Running Advertisements
Michael Steele has some excellent new advertisements that tout him as a "different type of senator." He is now trying to spin his constantly changing relationship with President Bush as the mark of someone who criticizes what is wrong in both parties. Don't believe it but watch it here to see why Democrats better take Steele's challenge very seriously. He is much better scripted than when he is front of an audience.

Comprtroller Candidates Peter Franchot and Janet Owens are also cranking up the ad machine.
