So...They're gonna Fight Maryland
Mehlman is on CNN saying its not over despite the projections by the MSM. I actually predicted this. Why? With a black candidate they can certainly play the reverse race-card meaning how bad would it look if a black candidate was disfrancheised.

the networks may have called that too early

5. No they didn't. Besides exit polls they have sample precincts. O'Malley and
Cardin piled up huge leads in Prince George's, Montgomery County, and Baltimore City. And Ehrlich did not get as big a margin as he did in 02 in Baltimore County. Turnout was down there.

2. All one has to look at are the following counties....
Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Howard and Prince Georges (all of which have not been fully county and show Carding with a massive lead) and you'll begin to understand why they called it for Cardin.

Mehlman can kiss my ass and go fuck himself.

3. Yeah, but it was okay for that black candidate to have
bumper stickers that labeled him a Democrat. (Absolutely truee -- top line "STEELE" 2nd line "Democrat") I was -- and am -- soooooo pissed about that. But it's the kind of dirty trick that you can't do anything about, the kind of dirty trick GOP excels at.

4. It's close
But it looks like MO and PG are running 70% for Cardin. Those look to me like pretty solid numbers.
