District 21: Giannetti v. Rosapepe

The Sun profiles the House and Senate races in District 21, focusing mainly on the rivalry between Sen. John Giannetti and challenger Jim Rosapepe. Much has been made of this, most recently after the massive sign defacement on Route 1 last week. (Have police found who was responsible for that yet, by the way?) More interesting is the Diamondback's finding that while Giannetti can claim the support of high-level Democrats like Sen. Mike Miller and Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson, Rosapepe has the backing of many local politicians in both College Park and Laurel who are fed up with having to work with Giannetti. That local disgust, ultimately, may cut the knees out from under Giannetti's candidacy come next Tuesday.
