		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore—a Republican who came under fire in her party when she briefly left the GOP to break a deadlock on appointing her successor to the County Council two years ago&#8211; has endorsed a Democrat running for County Executive in Howard County against a well-known statewide Republican. The endorsement, highlighted during a candidates’ debate this week, was the topic of much hand-wringing among state Republican party officials last Friday during the state party’s annual Oktoberfest gathering. “People were asking, ‘What was Moore thinking?’,” according to a source who attended the event but spoke on condition of anonymity. Courtney Watson, a Democrat, is running against Republican State Sen. Allan Kittleman for Howard County Executive. The winner of the election will succeed Ken Ullman, who is running for Lt.

But the questions they say were asked are not the same questions that this reporter was asked when a pollster said to be representing the same organization called our home phone. The National Organization for Marriage states its poll of 600 registered voters found that respondents opposed legalization by a margin of 54-37. The group also states that 78 percent of respondents wanted voters, not the General Assembly, to decide the issue. (See NOM’s press release with details of its poll here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/49058222/Maryland-Poll-FINAL-02-17-11 The yes-or-no questions we were asked were different from the more open-ended questions listed on the press release that would have elicited what’s called in the polling world “volunteered” answers.
