Marc FisherWaPo Loves Republicans, When They're Frustrated 'Moderates' Venting Their SpleensWashington Post metro columnist Marc Fisher treated readers of the October 2 paper to a look at outgoing "moderate" Republican Wayne Gilchrest (1st District-Md.), who was felled in a primary contest back in February by a conservative state senator backed by the fiscally conservative group Club for Growth.
