“Steele Democrat” bumper stickers are great. Just like “Reagan Democrat” bumper stickers. So true!

Two candidates will lose in this race. One will win. Let’s hope all the votes get counted!

And the most important thing about our participatory democracy is that we can change the rules of the game so voters don’t have to worry about feeling dumb (ie institute IRV-which the Democrats in the State Legislature blocked).

Additionally, if the media was providing fair and accurate reporting in this race (and other races around the country) then voters would know about all choices on the ballot instead of only some voters knowing about them, which means Zeese would have more name recognition, feasibility, and as candidate in this race he can win with 34% of the vote, just like his opponents.

The most interesting thing in this race (besides the fact that voters have had an opportunity to hear from all three candidates most of the time) is the discussion about how race and party are factoring in.

Peace!

But the truth is he has zero shot. Zero. Say it with me - Z E R O. His numbers are improving. Last week he was up from 0 to 1 %.

If Cardin loses by less than a percent, a lot of people are going to feel really dumb.

So now a bunch of black Democratic leaders are crying in their beer, and supporting Steele because he’s black? Isn’t that, well, racist? Does that mean I should vote for Cardin because he’s white?

Give me a break.

And as voters, we will never be able to vote for the candidate we want in office, because we are too concerned with Party labels, skin color, religion, or gender.

Let me tell you, I’m not going to vote for Hillary Clinton just because she is a woman!

But teach tham a lesson that could hand the Senate to the GOP?

The action by Curry et al. is precisely the sort of parochial behavior that constantly undermines the Democratic party.

And they announce this a week before the election?

Looks like Jesse and Al need to move over, Wayne Curry’s the new demogogue in town.

It’s been quite an exciting 3 way race here in Maryland and a candidate can win by a plurality with 34%.

Besides, Maryland has had some rather uninspiring senators lately. Mikulski was senator while I lived there and she was certainly a yawner.

Steele
Democrat

How’s that for truth in advertising?

We know your out there, Jesse, and your itching…itching to start bitch’in…scratch’in to start patch’in…oppitty goobity gook…look what I found, a new compound…Steele in a Bush…Oreo cookie wookie, cracker jacker…stop the insurrection or I’ll show you my….

Where is Reverend Al? This race obviously needs a jump suit, a bull horn and some marches.

Steele, who as lieutenant governor is the first African American elected statewide in Maryland, said he was humbled by the support. “I said I did not want this [campaign] to be so much about party but about the people,” he said. “And these people understand that.”

Ron Walters, a political science professor at the University of Maryland, said the endorsements could be significant. “This is going to go through the black community like a rocket,” he said. “It’s going to be the talk of the county, the state, maybe even the nation.”

The Maryland Dems are dependent on the black vote, but throw only occasional political crumbs to their single largest constituency. The unions and old-time Baltimore white nabobs control the party, and have selected one of their hacks, a party-line white limousine liberal, instead of a qualified black who was narrowly beaten in the primary.

I hope Steele pulls out a victory, as the hypocritical smug stand-patism of the liberal Maryland Dems needs a shake-up very badly.
