Rich Mathews writes as follows:

"I wanted you to know that the Ron Paul movement is fighting with vigor in Maryland. We have candidates running for all delegate and alternative delegate positions on the ballot, some of them unopposed with only one day left to file."

"I have announced my own candidacy and filed today for U.S. Congress in the Second Congressional District of Maryland. My Democratic opponent was most likely planning to run without opposition from either party. The once anemic Maryland Republican Party is being infused with energy from Ron Paul supporters in every county."

The former Republican governor, Bob Ehrlich, the leader of the "anemic" Repubicans in the state, is a Giuliani supporter.
