With a month to go before primary voters head to the polls to choose Senate nominees, Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin kicked off yesterday a weeklong effort to highlight his congressional record and vision on health care by making the mother of all campaign promises - to cure cancer.
Cardin, a Democrat from Baltimore County, gathered with cancer survivors and doctors in Lutherville to detail his efforts to expand cancer screening and his plans to fight the disease.

I'm guessing he's one of those uninformed embyonic stem cell dweebs.

Ben Cardin has always been a jacka$$ and will always be one.
To put it very bluntly, white Democrats in Maryland aren't going to appreciate Kweisi and black Democrats will be mad if he isn't the nominee.
Each group is telling pollsters they'll support the nominee of their party because they're each convinced it'll be their guy.
Ben Cardin (D) promises cancer cure
Well every one should have a hobby.
While I appreciate the optimism, this reeks of the time John Edwards told a room full of people in wheelchairs that they would walk again if he got elected because he would allow unfettered stem cell research.
