Allard had trouble as an incumbent, but he had a strong opponent (the same man he'd narrowly beat six years earlier) and he's widely considered well to the right of the average Coloradan. This race was considered to close to call before the election, that Allard won by this much was something of a surprise.

The name Barack Obama sounds like some neo-African name to me, but not Islamic.
I guess if his father really is an African immigrant, that shouldn't really be a problem. But I can't see a namechanging, Black Pride, 70s person elected to the Senate. I just can't picture it. I know Kweisi Mfume and Chaka Fattah made it to the House, but that's something else. Maybe with DC statehood, but not now.

It would be one. DC's population is now below the average Congressional District's. And I guess he thinks Maryland is safe for the Dems even without DC (although they narrowly elected a Rep. governor last time - that wouldn't have happened with DC inside MD).
Maybe DC should join Virginia.

I don't know about the state House, but their House of Representatives' delegation already is pro-Dem gerrymandered. Just look at the second district.
The GOP now has two seats in the state, and while neither is 250% safe, they are almost impossible to gerrymander away because of the state's shape.

She probably will.
And now that the Dems will have a Black candidate too, I'm rooting for Herman Cain to win the Republican nomination!

One reason Majette switched to the Senate race may be that this way she'll at least get on the General ballot.

I think it would be great for the country and for the South if Cain was the nominee, but Isakson has a huge lead in the polls right now.  He's got about 50% to 15-20% each for Cain and Mac Collins.
It's a two-round primary. 20th July (my mom's birthday) and 10th August.
