Lenin v. Trotsky
The best thing to happen for the MD GOP is an ugly internecine battle between Edwards and Van Hollen. I predicted O’Malley’s Black Dem Lieutenant would be a bridge too far for White Dem voters in the state to support for Governor. This could provide an opening for Bob Ehrlich to win the Senate seat (if Edwards gets the Dem nomination).
Gee, aren’t I lucky to live here!
Wow, Menendez under fire AND Milkulski leaving?
That’s two lifer statists being flushed out of D.C.!
So a six year congressman wants her seat. Professional politicians with no qualifications for any real job
Ha ha ha! Now these White liberals are gonna reap what they sow. They played the race card and used identity politics on Republicans and now the Blacks and Latinos in their own party are gonna use it on them. You can bet the White liberal political establishment is not going to be willing to share power with minority groups. Sit back and enjoy this folks. What goes around comes around.
Prior to being elected to the Senate, Mikulski represented the Maryland 3rd Congressional District. Her successor in that seat was Paul Sarbanes, who would later join her in the Senate. His successor was Ben Cardin — both in his House seat and his Senate seat. IOW, the last 3 Senators have all come from the same House seat.
The current occupant of that seat is Rep. John Sarbanes, son of Sen. Sarbanes. He’s a moron, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not at least looking at the race.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
If the past is any indicator of the future, a black woman in a position of power would support a black male before she would support a non-black woman.
