District 21: John Giannetti Not Getting Loving Anymore

From the Gazette:
Both the AFL-CIO and the Maryland State Teachers Association, which endorsed Giannetti in the primary, are endorsing his opponent, former delegate Jim Rosapepe, for the general election. The unions withdrew their endorsements after Giannetti lost the Democratic primary to Rosapepe by almost 20 points.

Giannetti switched parties in late September to run in the Nov. 7 election, after the unions made their decisions -- but the unions haven't budged on their latest round of endorsements.
Only the local police union is still behind Giannetti, and even that may change.

If you want to amuse yourself for a while, check out Giannetti's blog. Not much since the primary election, but the old posts show the wisdom and maturity you expect from a public figure. Example:
I have to write a brief word about our Fantastic Four signs. (This is the term that Mark Cook--or "Cookie", as I call him--has given the signs) These signs, perhaps by miracle, somehow survived the brunt of Ernesto. Imagine a sign-strewn hill in Laurel---scores of signs in all shapes and sizes. Then imagine Ernesto--a blustery tropical storm that had winds blowing from the southeast, opposite of normal local winds--blowing down everything in its path. Now imagine a litter-strewn hill in Laurel--same hill...all the signs destroyed by the forces of nature. All signs but one...somehow, the forces of nature were no match for the most unique and attractive sign of the lot...the Fantastic Four signs. Giannetti, Cook, Everette, and Sarich were the defacto Kings of the Hill wherever you could see.
Reminds me of Katie Couric's blog, actually.
