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.
