Maryland Politics -- The Races Tighten

The latest Rasmussen Poll shows the Maryland Senate race tightning. Steele is gaining as the Democrats fight over the nomination.

If Kweisi Mfume is the Democrat candidate, Steele leads 45% tp 44%, a tossup.

If Ben Cardin is the Democrat, he leads 47% to 41%. But that is too close for comfort.

Read the poll results here.

This is not good news for the Democrats. Recent polls show Mfume leading Cardin for the nomination and then losing to Steele. And Gov. Ehrlich is rapidly closing the gap between himself and Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley in the gubernatorial race.

Republicans seem to have genuine momentum, at least in Maryland.
