		<description><![CDATA[CECIL CHATTER: Sen. E.J. Pipkin’s Birthday Gift: GOP Leadership So state Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36) hit the big 55 on Tuesday, 11/1/11, and fielded a lot of birthday greetings on his Facebook wall. But the best present he got was selection by fellow Republicans as their leader in the state Senate for the 2012 session. While Pipkin was responding with a lot of repetitive ‘thank you’ messages to birthday well-wishers on Facebook, he really should have been sending a few dozen roses to Sen. Nancy Jacobs (R-Cecil/Harford). Jacobs recently announced she would step down as Senate Minority Leader so as to focus on other potential political races. Jacobs’ decision—which may very well have been a pragmatic and pre-emptive move based upon a sub-rosa Pipkin campaign to oust her from the top GOP leadership spot in the state Senate—then cleared the way for Pipkin to win the leadership post from the tiny 12-member GOP caucus. During the 2011 session, Pipkin was the second-ranking Senate Republican, serving as GOP Whip to Jacob’s Minority Leader status. Pipkin and his House of Delegates drill sergeant, Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36), have been garnering headlines and TV time with their made-for-sound-bites “war on rural Maryland” campaign [&#8230;]]]></description>
