It's always good to see our candidates pulling in the $$$, but is anyone else a little concerned by this meager take? I know in the article the campaign says it shouldn't be compared to giant fundraisers for Kilgore and Ehrlich in the heart of a campaign. Great point. However, every other fundraiser Bush has done for a Republican Senate candidate this year took in at least $1 Million, where as Steele brought in only HALF of that. Is anyone else growing concerned that in such a Democratic state this isn't going to be a winnable race for us? What do people think? Should we funnel a lot of resources into Maryland, or are they better spent elsewhere?

Steele is the democrats biggest nightmare. The only black senator in the country and he's a republican. Obamas mother is white, but the media somehow forgets that.

Jeez, if the President were as unpopular as the MSM keeps saying he is, you'd think Steele wouldn't have raised ten bucks at this event. I doubt Kweasy Mofome can raise a half-million bucks at an event for his campaign.

Remember how the media went nuts and wet themselves over Osama Bama (Kennedy)? Hmmm, not a peep over this black man running. Obama was the "dream" candidate. Steele is just a typical race traitor to the liberal media. That's why he's being shunned.

Republicans always have money to throw around, you handwringing newbie. Give all good conservative candidates as much support as possible. I don't care if the president raised $50. Give Lt. Gov. Steele and all other conservatives the support they deserve, no matter what the odds.

I checked with the original headline and it is there. The headline is written so it sounds like Bush stole 500,000. They capitalized the everything but the "to" so your eyes read....

BUSH HELPS STEELE A QUICK $500,000

Typical $hit from the WAPO editorial staff.

I vote for better spent elsewhere.

Taking into consideration the waste and corruption, funded by our tax dollars, by our "elected representatives," I have no intention of donating any $$$ to any candidate or party.

The definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results................

Steele is a great candidate who will get national support. If the rats are dumb enough to think they can win with queeze no se fume, Steele will roll over him. He will get Catholic support. He will get pro life support. He will get 25% of the Black vote and Black Republican support. He will shine when put up against anybody the rats run.

Steele is magnificent and totally who I would love to see run for president- i saw him at the RNC last year and he is dynamic.
