Good News In Maryland
In the Maryland Senate race, new polling data shows both potential Democratic candidates ahead of Lt. Governor Michael Steele (R). The Rasmussen Reports poll has Rep. Ben Cardin (D-MD) leading Steele by a “substantial” 10 points, 45% to 35%. Meanwhile, civil rights leader Kweisi Mfume also leads in potential head to head matchup by 4 points, 42% to 38%. Either way, it look like Democrats are in the driver’s seat for this important Senate race.
DoubleSpeak recently sat down with Mr. Mfume for an excellent interview and will be talking with Rep. Cardin very soon. Keep checking back for our interviews with these great candidates!

Yeah boy!! I believe Dems will hold this seat easily with either Cardin or Mfume. The GOP has an excellent candidate in Steele, but combine MD’s essential blueness with a warm political climated and we should retain this seat.
It’s a September primary, so there’s a long way to go for both candidates. Also keep and eye on MD-03, the House seat Cardin is vacating to run for Senate. Several strong Dems are in the race.

I am putting my money on Mfume. He has come a long way and I think that with Cardin accepting so much money from special interest groups, Mfume is definatly going to pull ahead. Also Cardin has outspent Mfume considerably and not gained a significant advantage, which to me, means a lot. It appears as if Mfume just relaunched his website, so I have to fully agree with Madorsky that the next 4 months will prove interesting.
