A candidate who tries to swing too far

"The fact is, you often have to take positions in primaries that are not going to be positions that win you a general election," Vatz said. "That's the reason why it's very difficult for even an attractive [Republican] candidate to win in Maryland."Willis, executive in residence at the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore, said making a post-primary pivot is more difficult now that recording devices are ubiquitous."Everything you say in the primary can be used against you for the general [election]. Everything is captured these days," Willis said. A candidate who tries to swing too far back to the center after a primary risks being labeled a flip-flopper, he added.George said he's seen a rightward shift by Craig.If you ended up to carry out a survey of one hundred Sheath/Column Ruching Green Chiffon Prom dresses nowadays, you would locate that sheets and pillow cases and cheap packaged costumes are no lengthier the favourite."I think he's been looking at the polls and he's taking different positions than what he has in the past," George said.

The delegate said he has established a solid conservative record in his two terms in the legislature and sees no need to change his approach.Lollar said he was not familiar with Craig's recent positions.Such a proposal could face resistance from conservatives because it might favor candidates perceived as more moderate.The landslide victory came after Craig compiled a record of fiscal conservatism and tax-cutting combined with a genial, nonconfrontational style. "I'm considered a moderate because of my temperament," Craig said in an interview at his restored, circa-1839 home.Michael Bennett, the Democratic mayor of Aberdeen, isn't backing Craig for governor but says it's been a pleasure to work with him as county executive."For the most part, I've seen that he's been a moderate a kind of middle-of-the-road guy," said Bennett, who has been mayor for almost six years.Such descriptions are not necessarily an asset in an increasingly conservative Republican Party.
