"She came off as so spiteful and so degrading," McReynolds said. "She didn't promote herself. She demoted Wynn."
Four other Democrats were also competing: economist Michael Babula, utility consultant Jason Jennings, retired activist George E. McDermott and real estate agent George E. Mitchell.
Four Republicans were also competing to take on Wynn or his successful challenger. They were Michael Moshe Starkman, who ran against Wynn in 2006, as well as Robert Broadus, Peter James and Vincent Martorano.
In Maryland's 1st District, Gilchrest received support from President Bush and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. In the Republican primary, he faced Harris, Pipkin and two other contenders.
Although his district typically votes Republican in November, it includes more registered Democrats than Republicans. State Democratic leaders vowed to make a serious play to pick up the seat this fall. They backed Queen Anne's State's Attorney Frank M. Kratovil Jr., who defeated three others in the Democratic primary.
Elsewhere, Hoyer, Maryland's most powerful congressman, faced one Democratic challenger, while three Republicans competed to battle the winner in the fall.
In Montgomery, three-term incumbent Van Hollen faced two Democratic opponents, and five Republicans competed for the GOP nomination.
Sarbanes, the newest member of the Maryland House delegation, faced a challenge from Annapolis businessman John M. Rea. Republicans chose their candidate from among three contenders.
Cummings, who has served six terms and had spent recent days campaigning hard for Obama, faced his own challenge from Baltimore activist Charles Ulysses Smith. Two Republicans vied to take on the Democratic nominee in the 7th District, which covers Howard County and Baltimore.
Bartlett faced four challengers for the GOP nomination in his Frederick and Montgomery county district. Army veteran Andrew Duck, the unsuccessful Democratic challenger in 2006, was competing with four others for the chance to challenge the GOP nominee in the fall.
