District 21: Giannetti Joins the Dark Side

It's official:

State Sen. John Giannetti, fresh off a resounding defeat in the local Democratic primaries two weeks ago, told a group of Republicans yesterday that he has switched parties and will run as a Republican in November.

The Associated Press reported Giannetti's comments at a large Republican fundraiser in Baltimore last night, where he told about 1,000 attendees that "there is room for a moderate in the Republican party" should he win in a general election bid against Democrat and former regent Jim Rosapepe.

Time to put this sad, pathetic man out of his misery: Check out Jim Rosapepe's website, and volunteer or contribute what you can.
