CD6: Air Force Dr. Milad Pooran Donates $200K to Himself // ANALYSIS: Progressives Will Swing Democratic Primary
U.S. HOUSE CAUCUS POLITICS - Maryland Juice yesterday noted that two Maryland political pundits recently wrote articles scorching the two frontrunners in the 6th Congressional District Democratic Primary. Both columnists also drew attention to the contrast provided by the campaign of Air Force physician Milad Pooran. Dr. Pooran is running in the CD6 Primary and has received the backing of Howard Dean and the co-chairs of the U.S. House Progressive Caucus - Congressmen Keith Ellison and Raúl Grijalva. Rep. Ellison, for what it's worth, is also hosting a fundraiser for Milad Pooran. We received the announcement for the following event via email:
STRANGE DYNAMICS: Interestingly, State Senator Rob Garagiola has the support of centrist House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, and I think I recall reading that he had the support of the more progressive centrists in the New Democrat Coalition (aka the NDN caucus). But Garagiola also has the backing of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org and many of the progressive interest groups that make endorsements (ie: Progressive Maryland, Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign, etc). This is creating interesting dynamics in the race. Either way, Mr. Pooran must feel some encouraging signs, because The Baltimore Sun reports that he has decided to inject more than $200,000 of his own money into the race. See an excerpt below:

BALTIMORE SUN: If Maryland's 6th District election was a poker match, Democrat Milad Pooran would be all in.
The Jefferson physician, whose campaign for the Democratic nomination has largely operated in the shadow of two better-known opponents, announced today he will put $200,000 of his own money into his campaign -- a significant investment of his personal savings, aides said.

CD6 WOW: Gov. Howard Dean, Rep. Keith Ellison & Rep. Raul Grijalva Endorse Milad Pooran in 6th Congressional District
UPDATE: Check out Maryland Juice's archive of articles referencing CD6 Democratic candidate Milad Pooran. His website is MiladforCongress.com.
PRESS RELEASE Gov. Howard Dean, Reps. Ellison, Grijalva Back Milad Pooran in MD-6 Primary
Dean: “He’s Only True Progressive and Only Candidate Who Can Win in November”
JEFFERSON, MD, February 28 – Democratic Congressional candidate Dr. Milad Pooran (MD-6) was endorsed today by three leading national progressive figures: former VT Governor and DNC chair Howard Dean, and the co-chairs of the Progressive Caucus in the U.S. House, Congressmen Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ).
“I am tremendously proud of the support of these three inspirational progressives,” Pooran said. “Governor Dean's endorsement reinforces what we have been saying since this race started: beating Roscoe Bartlett in November will take a better choice than either entrenched Annapolis political power or entrenched Wall Street money power. And I very much look forward to serving with Representatives Grijalva and Ellison in Congress and proudly joining them in the House Progressive Caucus.”
The endorsement statements of Governor Dean and Representatives Ellison and Grijalva:

CD4: Howard Dean Endorses Rep. Donna Edwards // CD2: Pundits Rate Sen. Nancy Jacobs v. Dutch Ruppersberger
The Huffington Post reports that former Vermont Governor and 2004 Presidential candidate Howard Dean has endorsed Rep. Donna Edwards for re-election to Maryland's 4th Congressional District:
Meanwhile over in the 2nd Congressional District, an anonymous reader has forwarded a Cecil Times analysis of GOP Sen. Nancy Jacobs' chances against Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger. In a guest appearance on WBAL last Monday, Maryland Juice stated he thought it was a longshot. Here's another take:
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) and Democracy for America, a progressive PAC, have endorsed Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Donna Edwards (D-Md.) in their 2012 reelection races.
In an email to DFA members Dean states, "Few Democrats in the House of Representatives have fought harder than Donna and Raul to stop Paul Ryan's plan to end Medicare. They stood strong to defeat attempts to cut Social Security. And they have never backed down in the fight to restore the American Dream for everyone. But now their districts have been redrawn to make them significantly harder for a progressive Democrat to win."

Gen. Wesley Clark to Maryland Juice: The Truth About Sen. Rosapepe
Last week Maryland Juice went out on a limb and outed State Senator Jim Rosapepe as a candidate for 2014 Maryland Comptroller.
In doing so, Maryland Juice apparently attracted a new reader: former Presidential candidate General Wesley Clark!
Our elegantly titled article, OUTED: Jim Rosapepe for Comptroller // Moustache for Lt. Comptroller, provided some historical context for Rosapepe's 2006 State Senate primary, but we apparently quoted a Daily Kos diary from user Sharon in MD that contained some inaccurate information:

"Jim Rosapepe may be a familiar name to Howard Dean supporters in Maryland as he supported the Dean candidacy in 2004."2004 Presidential Candidate and Retired Army General Wesley Clark contacted Maryland Juice to provide this correction:
