When Sen. Barbara Mikulski squelched rumors of her impending retirement by announcing she's ready for a fifth term, she also put a damper on the career aspirations of ambitious Maryland politicians.
"The only people who want Mikulski out more than Republicans are elected Democrats for whom she is posing a logjam in upward mobility," said Don Murphy, a former Maryland delegate and GOP strategist who advises Republican Mikulski challenger Eric Wargotz.

I am confident this caused Chris Van Hollen’s head to explode.
I’ve never understood why anyone ever wanted her.
Don’t you just love the way the Maryland Democratic Party treats elected offices as their own private job bank?
Baltimore is the center of evil - Annapolis is just a quaint town with a Naval Academy.
Is there any Republican out there that can defeat this woman Mikulsi who doesn’t have the qualifications to flush a toilet?
There was a thread here on FR or an article than a few people thought that a Repub could beat her.
Well, she looks like a human logjam...
...or maybe a speedbump.
She’s terminally ugly; that’s all I know, and all I need to know. In the Kennedy times we were taught to believe that rule by beautiful people was best. Well, why the hell are there so many ugly lookers in office? Send the uglies home.
Beehive hairdo’s should be grounds for removal....
Republican Mikulski challenger Eric Wargotz.
MD’s Lt. Gov. Michael Steele couldn’t mount a Senate victory against Democrat Ben Cardin -whose son is now in his old seat as the Democratic MD representative - how’s that for a Kennedy type dynasty in MD?
That, my friends, is an overripe pear.
Eric who? Is this a credible Republican alternative?
I’d sure like to see her gone.
She is loaded in her campaign funds , and she has her head up the butt of the entitlement classes in PG ,Montgomery, and Baltimore, so I dont see much chance of her going anywhere.
Mikulsi who doesnt have the qualifications to flush a toilet?

Maybe not, but she’s one hot babe. (/s)
Actually that's not quite true. Cardin took Paul Sarbanes Senate seat and Sarbanes' son John Sarbanes was elected to Cardin's old House seat. I know -- I voted against John Sarbanes. But still, it has become a sort of Democrat Party dynasty. The state of Maryland is beyond hope. As long as the Baltimore/Washington Liberal/Leftist corridor exists conservatives will be shut out.
