I think thats very unlikely. Maryland is too Democratic and 2006 is clearly an anti-Republican year. From this poll we can see that Steele already has the 43% who voted for Bush in 2004 which I suppose is an achievement given national circumstances. I think Steele's threshold, however, must be around 46% of the vote. People may flirt with voting for Steele but the Cardin campaign is obviously going to mention his party, his ties to Bush and his controversial statements; Steele is attractive at the moment because Marylanders don't know a great deal about him and he has defined himself well.
