Yeah.

It gave me pause for a second as well.

Now if Larry would get his head out of his ass, that seat is probably his for the taking.

As bad as Ben is and has been...I'm betting his replacement will be even worse. A Jamie Raskin clone...on steroids. This state is so fawked.

Didn't he already say he's not running?

Isn't that what "they" always say when they want to receive some begging?

I fear this is true.

Has that guy done anything as Senator besides have his staff send out emails saying he's fighting for this or that? They probably sent out that presser saying Ben Cardin is retiring and all the news people were like, "Who?"

Both MD Senators are, um, low profile. I can't even name the other one.

Sarbanes. 2 Senators from PG County might not be voted for.

Low profile is not necessarily a bad thing. Cardin is on the Finance and Foreign Relations Committees, and was tapped to replace Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee.
