		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it was the location in historic Chestertown, the home of Washington College and a tradition of political civility, that led to a particularly polite candidates’ forum Tuesday night among candidates for state Delegate and Senator in the 36th district. An earlier forum in Cecil County with many of the same candidates had lots more fireworks. There were a few moments of spirited ripostes toward the end of the program, when Democrat William Manlove, running for the 36th District seat currently held by Republican Michael Smigiel, cited the attack ads against Republican Del. Richard Sossi of Queen Anne’s County, who narrowly lost the GOP primary to Stephen S. Hershey. (Hershey, who is now unopposed in the general election, did not attend the forum that was sponsored by the Kent County League of Women Voters.) “It has disturbed many people,” Manlove said of the tactics used against Sossi. Smigiel and incumbent Sen. E.J. Pipkin campaigned as a team with Hershey and Pipkin paid for a flyer endorsing Hershey.

		<description><![CDATA[CENTREVILLE&#8211; Candidates for the 36th District state House of Delegates and Senate seats squared off Tuesday night in a non-partisan issues forum here, with most Republican candidates saying the same things, in the same words, while Democrats had a mixed presentation that even elicited that rare commodity at a candidates&#8217; forum: laughter.   The forum, sponsored jointly by the Kent and Queen Anne&#8217;s counties chapters of the non-partisan League of Women Voters, drew a small crowd of about 45 people. The format of the event placed Democrats  and Republicans in separate panels so there was no back-and-forth between potential general election rivals. In the few contested primary races, rivals were allowed to respond to each others answers. But the format, which drew all questions from people in the audience who could direct which candidate should address it, left out some candidates who were not allowed to address a question if it was not aimed at them. At times, candidates not allowed to answer a question seemed to be chafing at the bit to respond, too.   That problem was most evident in the Democratic panel discussion.  William Manlove, of Cecil County, who is unopposed in the primary and will face [&#8230;]]]></description>
