With a month to go before primary voters head to the polls to choose Senate nominees, Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin kicked off yesterday a weeklong effort to highlight his congressional record and vision on health care by making the mother of all campaign promises - to cure cancer.
Cardin, a Democrat from Baltimore County, gathered with cancer survivors and doctors in Lutherville to detail his efforts to expand cancer screening and his plans to fight the disease.
"We are going to lick cancer by 2015," Cardin told a group of 15 people at the HopeWell Cancer Support Center on Falls Road.

And after that, maybe he can find the cure for the common cold. Good grief...he should be laughed out of the state, and I'm sure Jon Stewart would have a blast with this on his show.

I think they should elect me. I promise to end world hunger by 2009.

The sheer gall is astonishing. I can only hope the company producing Michael Steele's television commercials knows about it.

"We are going to lick cancer by 2015," Cardin said This is to be contrasted with Bill Clinton, who was heard to say that he would "lick a dancer by 10:15."

And to think this is the better of the two. His opponent is Kweisi Mfume. I am telling everybody right now, the day after the Dem primary, Steele's numbers will shoot up.

Why not cure cancer and then run for office? You'd have so much more time to lead that way.

His actual quote, in the third paragraph, doesn't really deliver the lunacy promised in the headline and the lead paragraph.
