LOL. I think that prediction was on election night, when I underestimated the Kerry-Martinez voters in Cuban precincts. That turned to be wrong within a couple of hours. It happens, although to be fair to myself, rarely. :) Mfume is a very engaging and articulate personality, with quite a life history. He will be hard to beat, particularly for a federal office. The Red Blue divide when it comes to senate seats is becoming more and more impermeable, particularly as the stake rise as to who gets on the federal court.
Oh, I didn't mean that as an insult. Just something I noticed reading that thread last night -- I also read the thread from Election '02 last night. Sorry. I just have the feeling that Mfume will bow out or he will lose with the MD Democratic establishment supporting a white liberal.
