		<description><![CDATA[State Senator Nancy Jacobs (R-34) has been elected to the top Republican leadership post in the Senate, just a few months after she was voted out of the party leadership. The surprise turnabout came after a week of turmoil among Senate Republicans and signals a shift to the right in the chamber’s GOP caucus. As part of the leadership shake-up Friday afternoon in Annapolis, another Upper Shore Senator E.J. Pipkin (R-36) was selected for the second-ranking Republican Whip post. The opening for top GOP leader in the state Senate came after the surprise resignation of Senator Allan Kittleman (R-Howard County) from the leadership post because he supports civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, which most of the 12-member Republican Senate caucus oppose. Kittleman has described himself as a “social moderate” on some of the hot button issues such as civil unions or same-sex marriage that will be coming up in this year’s General Assembly session. (A bill to legalize same-sex marriages was introduced this past week by the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader, Rob Garagiola, of Montgomery County.) Jacobs is a former leader in the Concerned Women of America conservative group and has been a staunch conservative on social issues. [&#8230;]]]></description>
