		<description><![CDATA[The iron grip held on the four-county 36th legislative district by former state Sen. E.J. Pipkin ( R) for over a decade has crumbled in the past week since he announced his resignation and departure from Maryland, with a crowded field of hopefuls lining up to seek appointment to his seat. By early evening Monday, there were 14 declared candidates, sources said. But the political dynamic of the contest— which is, at least initially, in the hands of the Republican Central Committees in each of the four counties comprising the district—could be complicated by the sheer volume of candidates and the potential for the Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley to have the final say if the committees do not unite on a single candidate. The four counties of the district—Cecil, Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline—each get, in effect, one vote. State law specifies the name of a candidate receiving a majority of the county committees will be sent to the governor for automatic ratification. But if two of the committees were to pick different candidates, and another candidate got two counties’ votes, it is unclear if that would be considered a &#8220;tie&#8221; to be broken by the governor.

		<description><![CDATA[Analysis State Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36) has never liked losing, although he has done a lot of it in his repeated failed efforts to move up the political ladder in Maryland. So it is perhaps not surprising that he and his political cohort, Del. Michael Smigiel, who recently lost a campaign for a Cecil County judgeship, are screaming so loudly over the decision by new County Executive Tari Moore to remove their power to appoint her replacement on the County Council. “Benedict Arnold,” harrumphed Smigiel on Facebook, utilizing his usual hyperbole and bluster to attack Moore, whom he also maligned in personal terms by claiming she “has no honor.” Smigiel and Pipkin did not attend Monday’s swearing-in ceremonies in Elkton for Moore as County Executive and for fellow Republicans Robert Hodge and Dr. Alan McCarthy as members of the new County Council. Also absent were the Smipkin-aligned holdover County Commissioners/Council members Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael Dunn (R-3.) Both Broomell and Dunn are former employees of Smigiel as aides in his legislative office. If they had attended, they might have been seated in the front row, next to US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), who defeated Pipkin in the 2008 GOP [&#8230;]]]></description>
