Chris Van Who?

[Excerpt]
Representative Morella is the "Cheers" candidate in Maryland's 8th Congressional District. Everyone knows her name. She enjoys first-name basis status with the voters in her Suburban Maryland District, recently made famous by the "Beltway Sniper" siege.
Many expected another big name candidate to challenge the Republican incumbent this year. Mark Shriver -- son of Peace Corps founder Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver, JFK's nephew, Maria's brother and Arnold's brother in law -- came in a close second to a lesser known rival in the Democratic primary. That rival, Chris Van Hollen out-organized Shriver to win the chance to challenge the Congresswoman so well established she's known by her first name: "Connie."
On his way to winning the primary, Van Hollen locked up the endorsements of most local Democratic activists, and swept every local newspaper endorsement, including the Washington Post's. All endorsers noted that while others cast appropriate votes, Van Hollen does that and more. When it comes to the issues important to voters in this district, Van Hollen's record for leadership and success are second to none.
