Who can beat Cardin? That's my #1 qualification for a GOP candidate.
It's important for the GOP to win control of the Senate in 2012. Remenber, the Senate confirms SCOTUS Justices and Dept. appointments.
Everything else is mental masturbation.
Elections have consequences. Winning is everything.
Ole man Sarbanes could beat Cardin but he is a Demorat. I don't think anyone can beat Cardin in Maryland. But we can all pray for a miracle. Muse will give him a scare in the primary if Obamma is strong with the minorities. If not Cardin will really be a shoe in. I don't think any Republican has the money to run a credible campaign..it would take at least five million dollars.
