		<description><![CDATA[The Caroline County Republican Central Committee has voted to endorse Del. Steve Hershey, of Queen Anne’s County, to fill the vacant Dist. 36 state Senate seat—with the likely result that he will prevail over remaining rival Del. Michael Smigiel, of Cecil County. In a whirlwind of events in the past day, the Caroline County panel decided to forego a potentially prolonged interview of candidates process and members voted via email to support Hershey, according to Robert Willoughby, the panel’s chairman. As members saw other counties going forward with votes and disclosing their results, the Caroline County Republicans decided they did not need to interview all 14 candidates, he added. The Caroline panel’s votes were tallied by late afternoon on Friday, Willoughby said, a few hours before the bombshell disclosure by Audrey Scott that she was withdrawing from the contest. Scott, the former state Republican Party chair, sent an email to current state party chair Diana Waterman, saying she was pulling out of the process. Scott had already won the endorsement of the Queen Anne’s County GOP committee. Scott had also won an informal “caucus” vote in Kent County earlier in the week but that panel shifted course—and its votes—to Hershey [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former state Republican Party chair Audrey Scott withdrew Friday night from the hotly contested race for appointment to the state Senate seat recently vacated by E.J. Pipkin, leaving a potential head-to-head fight between two current state Delegates for the post. Since Pipkin was a Republican, his successor to fill out the remaining year and a half of his term is picked by a vote of each of the local Republican Central Committees in the four counties covered by the district. In an email—first reported by the conservative blog Red Maryland&#8211; to current state party chair and Eastern Shore resident Diana Waterman, Scott wrote that she was withdrawing her candidacy. She said she had entered the race because “numerous Central Committee members contacted me to ask that I submit my name” and that she had offered detailed letters to the local party panels outlining her qualifications, “commitment to the party” and “my great desire to avoid conflict within our party.” But she said she decided to pull out of the contest so as to clear the way for the current Delegates in the district—Michael Smigiel of Cecil County and Steve Hershey of Queen Anne’s County—to fight it out without a third [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The process to fill the state Senate seat vacated recently by E.J. Pipkin has turned into an increasingly bitter brawl, with pressure on local Republican Central Committees in the four-county District to unify behind one candidate to prevent Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley from making the final selection from a splintered GOP list. Former state Republican Party chair Audrey Scott won the endorsement of the Queen Anne’s County GOP committee on Tuesday, while Del. Michael Smigiel predictably won the Cecil County committee’s support on an 8-1 vote Wednesday. Kent County backed Scott on an unofficial caucus tally. And Caroline County officials said Thursday they were in no hurry to reach a decision. However, the committees must act to submit their choices to the governor by September 10. Rob Willoughby, chairman of the Caroline County committee, told Cecil Times Thursday that his nine-member panel has begun to review applications from the 14 candidates seeking the seat but had no set schedule for action. He said that if members wanted to interview candidates, the panel would do so but no decision had yet been made. “A vote needs to be informed,” he said, and “we’re looking at every candidate.” Under the state Constitution, [&#8230;]]]></description>
