From The Crystal Ball:

It's much too early to know for sure, but it's starting to look like Ohio will be Ground Zero for the second straight election. Having narrowly given the Presidency to George Bush in 2004, the Buckeye State could, might, possibly will be the site of a party turnaround in 2006--a shift to the Democrats with real implications for the 2008 presidential wars. The likely emerging Democratic ticket of Congressman Ted Strickland for Governor, and Congressman Tim Ryan for U.S. Senator will be a strong combo, especially in the wake of GOP Governor Bob Taft's unpopularity and a string of Republican state scandals.

If they can't win now in Ohio, they probably deserve to never win.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Maryland wouldn't be too high up, Steele is so ridiculously overrated as a candidate and it's not even absolutely sure he'll run. Even Goldie admitted that even with Steele running the race will still lean Dem at least.

True.

Heres a little trivia for ya'...

When is the last time Steele ran for public office on his own, and how did he fair?

Give up?

In 1994 Steele ran in the Republican primary for State Comptoller, but was unable to defeat two political nobodies (Larry Epstein and Timothy Mayberry) despite having the backing of Ellen Sauerbrey (the 1994 Republican candidate for Governor).

Also, Steele's recent "I don't golf" comment regarding Ehrlich's "golfing scandal" is a pretty good indication that he will be a KKT like disaster of a candidate.  Especially if he faces a seasoned pro like Ben Cardin.
