Voter's Guide: The Debates

This election season, the candidates bypassed mud slinging and went straight to bare-knuckle brawling. Check out this multimedia highlight reel of cheap shots, low blows and knees to the political groin.

For US Senate: US Rep. Ben Cardin (D), Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (R) and Green party candidate Kevin Zeese scrapped like rabid dogs in October 25's three way on public television. Steele and Cardin later ditched Zeese on October 29 for a debate on "Meet the Press."

For Governor: Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R) and Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley (D) went toe to toe on October 14 in a WBAL simulcast. They went at it again just two days later in a debate televised on WJZ Baltimore.

For Maryland Attorney General: The big fight for attorney general actually revolved around state's attorney Doug Gansler (D-Montgomery) and whether he was eligible to run at all. Gansler got the green light on Wednesday, making this October 24 debate with state's attorney Scott Rolle (R-Frederick) public television's sleeper hit.

Voters can watch interviews of other candidates on Access Montgomery's Candidate's Forum and Maryland Public Television's State Circle.
