Barack Obama has made his intentions known:  he wants to outright destroy the coal industry.  How do you feel now, Senator "Sheets" Byrd?  In a recorded interview, Obama came out clear that his "overall policy" will bankrupt the coal industry.  But what no one else is telling you is what it will do to freight railroads.

With just two days to go as I write this, I thought it was important to list out my endorsements for the 2008 Election.  There is no doubt that this is probably the most important election of my lifetime, as we face some serious issues and challenges at both the state and national level.  We have a clear choice to make.  And while our options are not necessarily perfect, our chance to choose is.

Davis Ruark passed along the following note about his endorsement of Frank Kratovil.  I present it here for your benefit and judgement, without comment:

"I want to pass this along to you for what it's worth. I'm very conservative, more so than most Republicans, even though I'm a registered Democrat. I've also been a "political maverick" for my entire life.

For the first time ever since I've become State's Attorney, I've publicly endorsed a candidate for political office - and that person is Frank Kratovil. I've refrained from doing so because I've always viewed my office as apolitical (in spite of it being an elected position) because I serve all of the people all of the time."

In a move that is not wholly unexpected, States Attorneys Davis Ruark (Wicomico) and Scott Shellenberger (Baltimore County) have endorsed Frank Kratovil over Andy Harris for the seat in the 1st Congressional District.  The latest endorsement -- part of a package endorsement by seventeen other States Attorneys in Maryland -- is a finger in the eye to Andy Harris' most prolific supporter, the convicted perjurer and woman beater I call Sebaceous Puss (aka Jihad Joe Albero).
