Rasmussen: Steele(R) catching up to Dems

[Downwinder]

If both Cardin and Mfume are leading Steele, I'd almost like to see a Senator Mfume next year.  His would be an interesting perspective in the US Senate.

First, when is the dem primary in Maryland?

I only say that I'd almost like to see a Senator Mfume, because I think he might be a truly interesting voice in the senate, like the future Senator Sanders from Vermont.  He would advocate for causes that I think are often ignored, which are the causes of many liberals as well.  I also think it would be a good thing to have a US Senator who would pander to the black population.  After all these years, I think blacks in America still could use a powerful voice inside one of the most powerful institutions in the world.  I don't think he'd neccesarily ignore the needs of the citizens of Maryland while doing this.  Like many of our female Senators, he'd have to find a balance between representing his state, and representing his background (blacks).  Plus, I don't live in Maryland, so who represents them doesn't really matter to me; If I lived there, I'd probably vote for Cardin, but since I don't, it's easy to root for Mfume.
