He talks a good game but he is not to be trusted. When he ran for Senate in MD, he used campaign contributions to pay his mortgage and other personal expenses. I've never once heard him really support any other conservative. He's even played the race card against the Republican Party. Like Colin Powell, if he weren't black, you would never have heard of him. Here's more of his negative tripe. I think you've summed him up correctly. Didn't know about the campaign contribution=mortgage issue. I only heard he had large debts from that Senate race.
