Raskin walking two feet behind Van Hollen was the funniest moment of all. Iwanthisseatthisbad.

It does sound unfair. However, it doesn’t seem like the rules don’t allow challengers to campaign for themselves along the sidelines, handing out flyers, etc.

I don’t know if this parade follows the same rules, but the Takoma Park 4th of July parade doesn’t allow politicking. This means if you are running for office, and not an incumbent, you can’t be in the parade. However, incumbents can be in the parade because they are “officials.” I think this grossly unfair to challengers and amounts to free advertising for the incumbent.

Hehe. Skateboard Mom is in the first slide — and amazingly enough, not having a bad hair day!
