What a difference a poll makes. Two polls, same race, very different results.

A recent Gonzales Research and Marketing Strategies poll had Congressman Ben Cardin leading Kweisi Mfume by an impressive 13 points. However, a new Survey USA poll just released today has Mfume up by 4 on Cardin.

Hmmm, we’ll find out soon enough who will win this critical primary in Maryland. Check out DoubleSpeak Episode Eight featuring an interview with Mfume and stay tuned for Episode Nine which will feature Congressman Cardin.

As I sit here and post, I’ve seen two Steele ads. The Lt. Governor will be tough to beat and Democrats in Maryland are going to have to coalesce quickly and work hard to win in November.

A funny new ad from team Lamont:

They could’ve made it easier, but we’ve got Ned Lamont’s new ad comparing his opponent, Joe Lieberman, directly to George Bush. In the words of The National Journal’s Hotline, if Ned wins, “this ad will become legendary.”
