David R. Brinkley, Maryland State Delegate.

July 20, 2001 - The Gazette (MD).

Looie, Looie

by Josh Kurtz

Looie, Looie is a slightly tongue-in-cheek look at those who would be lieutenant governor in 2002 - and beyond. Suggestions welcome.

Here's this week's wannabe:

When John Kane, trucking magnate and maybe republican candidate for governor, unveiled the 11 members of his exploratory committee this week, we were reminded of the Statue of Liberty - but not in a good way. It was tired, the poor (campaigners), the sick of the Maryland GOP.

Only one name stood out as fresh and promising: Del. David Brinkley of Frederick County. So he's our Looie, Looie of the Week.

Brinkley is one of the most decent guys in Annapolis on either side of the aisle. A straight shooter. A conservative, without being too far right. A family man. An insurance man. A cancer survivor, with an inspiring story to tell.

And what other potential candidate for lieutenant governor has such high name recognition? Get someone named Huntley to run for governor and they might even beat Cronkite!
