"The candidate gave the luncheon briefing to nine reporters from newspapers..."The clue is right there. He/she is NOT a present term senator. It can only be Steele...
Is it logical that NINE reporters
would answer a summons from the
Lt. Governor of Maryland? I mean,
this guy is a nobody outside of
that state. I never heard of him
here in Illinois.
Wikipoedia cites this:
"Michael S. Steele (born October 19, 1958) is the current Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, having been elected on the same ticket as Governor Robert L. Ehrlich in 2002. He is the first African American to serve in a Maryland state-wide office and the first Republican lieutenant governor in the state since the position was created in 1970. On October 25, 2005, Steele announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. He is running for the seat of Paul Sarbanes, who is retiring."
Can you see this guy wearing Frenh cuffs and links
that match his tie adnbeing fussy with his salad
lunch? I sure can't!
