i'm frank kratovil and i approve this message. the real andy harris. his past attacks have been called deceptive, his new attack, false. harris voted for deregulation increasing our electric bills by 72% it's not surprising, harris always sides with the big guys. he opposes cracking down

a foreclosure trees in nearly two dozen states. maryland appears to be have left out in the cold. the latest in tonight's "project economy." economy." four years ago, bob ehrlich got fired as governor of maryland. for good reason. first, he protected tax loopholes for giant cable cable companies. then, he let utilities jack up our rates 72%. and for the last four years, he worked as a hired gun for big corporations, even a bank that took billions from a taxpayer

funded bailout. ehrlich sides with corporate executives again and again and again tell bob ehrlich big banks and billionares don't need help. middle class marylanders do. eaks to send jobs over seas. i think we need tax breaks to send kids to college. so i worked for a $2,500 tax credit to help pay for college. fought to get pell grants expanded and insisted that college loans go directly to kids instead of through banks. i'm barbara mikulski. i approve this message.

because it's not about the next election, it's about the next generation. right? yeah!!!

cecil counties. these will slowly wind down tonight. we have less of a chance of rain tomorrow, but the shares in the mountains will be here on wednesday. in our seven-day forecast, the normal high is 72 and we are 12 below that on tuesday and 17 degrees below that on wednesday. these guys will begin to clear and temperatures will warm. thursday and friday look great. this weekend looks like a great october weekend for football. >> it was worth the wait. >> thank you for joining us.
