The other key issue in this race is the rise of the DC suburbs.
Cardin knew nothing about the issues down here, particuarly transportation.
One of the great mysteries is how Doug Duncan would have done against Ehrlich. Ehrlich would have had to run more to the right - Montgomery County is not as easy a target as Baltimore City. It would have been a completely different campaign, and who's to say how that would have affected the Steele race.
Dear Loyolas Mattmanm,
"It would have been a completely different campaign, and who's to say how that would have affected the Steele race."
How do you know it's not the other way around? I figure if anyone's got coattails today, it's Mr. Steele, not Mr. Ehrlich.
