I have to agree with much of the sentiment of "Rob" above. I was leaning Cardin initially, then I heard their debate last week and Mfume won me over. I've always liked Mfume....didnt think he had a real shot at it though. Several of my friends who have never paid attention to politics were quite impressed with him as well in the debate.
The way I see it, either candidate will get my full support in the general election. I've always liked them both. However....The Senate today already has too many "Ben Cardin's" in it.
Time for some Mfume....
You're completely right. I wondered why I felt apathy about Cardin and you have made me realise; there are too many Cardins already in the United States Senate. Its not that Cardin wouldn't be a good Senator, but if we have the chance to elect Mfume I instantly prefer him. There is just something charismatic and individual about him. Another black Senator would be a good thing too.
