Van Hollen Is Caught Off Guard; Name Is Used by Foe's Web Sites

The GOP candidate for Congress from Maryland's 8th District says it was an opportunity he couldn't let pass. But incumbent Rep. Chris Van Hollen said Charles R. Floyd's Web sites represent "a new low for politics in this area."

Repeating a tactic he used against his Republican primary opponent this year, Floyd bought three Internet domain names with Van Hollen's name and turned them into Web sites carrying unflattering comments about the freshman congressman's record.

Floyd said Van Hollen should have seen it coming.

"I feel if the congressman doesn't have the foresight to buy up certain domain names with his name, does he deserve to be in Congress?" asked Floyd, a retired military officer and State Department employee. "It was up for grabs, so I bought it."

Van Hollen enjoys a large fundraising edge.

Wow, Republicans are as sneaky and dirty as they look. It seems that Republicans run dirtier campaigns. Do we really want someone like that in office? Well not to worry Van Hollen will win. Wealthy Washingtonians are well educated and vote overwhelmingly Democratic.

Wow. You have met all Republicans and know what they all look like and their personal hygiene habits. You make yourself seem more ignorant with every post.
