Despite being out raised significantly in the first quarter, Frank Kratovil is nearly equal in cash on hand to his Republican opponent Andy Harris. Harris likely raised and then squandered most of the money due to the fact that he had a competitive primary (Gilchrest) but nonetheless it was a bit surprising to us Marylanders that they were so close. Especially considering Harris had much more money on hand than Wayne Gilchrest and E.J. Pipkin for much of the primary.

The article is wrong, Kratovil only has 170k cash on hand, it was corrected later today
If Kratovil keeps this up and Gilchrest decides to endorse Kratovil this could well be winnable.
MD-1 is Republican territory, but we have a good Democratic candidate and a Republican who everyone hates because he ousted the popular moderate Republican incumbent. We won’t have another opportunity like this in MD-1 for a long time. Plus, if the netroots left helped him win then he might thank us by being more liberal.
