AP sources: Edwards to seek Maryland Senate seat (Donna Eddwards, Barbara Mikulski)
Associated Press ^ | Mar 9, 2015 11:40 AM EDT | Erica Werner

Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland intends to join the race to replace retiring Sen. Barbara Mikulski, hoping to become the first African-American elected to the Senate from her state, according to officials familiar with her plans.

Edwards would become the second member of the state’s House delegation to announce her intentions to run for the Senate. Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen joined the race last week.

No Republican has yet stepped forward to run for a seat in a Democratic state.

Think the White liberal establishment that controls Maryland is going to be enthusiasticallly supporting Edwards? Don’t think so. The MSM won’t report the racial tensions within the Maryland Democratic Party over this race.

Does she think so highly of herself that two d's were required in her name in the headline?

God is satisfied with one.

She evidently influenced the middle finger of my left hand, so she must be telepathic or something.

Donna Edwards is an extreme leftist idiot.

Though she lived nowhere near me, She used to be my Congresswomen during one of Maryland’s many gerrymandering schemes.

I received many mailings from her which I could barely bear to read because they were so stupid and so dishonest.

Take any weird, off the wall leftist idea and Edwards is for it.

I hope she loses.

***************
Then she’s a perfect candidate for liberal Maryland.

The leftist idiots will vote for her because that’s all that will be remaining after everyone vacates the state. The exodus is already well under way. People have had enough.

Wiki calls her: "A lawyer and longtime community activist"...

What could possibly be wrong with that (/sarcasm)

Donna Edwards deserves this seat. She is the one closest to the political ideology of President Obama and will help his legacy live on. If the Democratic voters of Maryland reject her in their Primary, the reason for it will be nothing short of blatant Racism. If that happens, I will demand that Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse get involved and call for an investigation under the Voting Rights Act. RUN DONNA; RUN!!!

Women's Softball game in June 2013.

Which is why she'll be a shoo-in for that Senate seat in Maryland.

My recollection of Van Hollen is that he's pretty ruthless. Maybe not as notoriously savage as someone like Jim Moran, but definitely not a pushover.

She better have her deck of race and gender cards handy, because he'll go after her very hard.

I'd also point out that Maryland just went thumbs-down on a black leftist democrat in the race for governor. Of course, that was an off-year election. I wouldn't bet on that happening in a Presidential year, but one can hope.

Speaking as a resident of the Freak, er Free, State - Van Hollen has carefully cultivated the Dem Congressional leadership and is a favorite in Montgomery County. I’m getting out my popcorn for the P.C. bloodletting on this one. Very, very hard to see a Republican winning this one, but it would sure be nice if a Dan Bongino, etc. ran for this spot. Probably hopeless, but hope springs eternal . . .
