Not So Fast Mr. Congressman

Two days ago a Gonzales Research poll showed Congressman Ben Cardin (D-MD) opening up a good lead over former Congressman and NAACP head Kweisi Mfume in the race for the Democratic nomination for US Senator from Maryland.

However, in a SurveyUSA poll released yesterday (http://www.blackpolicy.org/black-races.php?s=MD) it is Mr. Mfume who winds up ahead of Rep. Cardin with 13% still undecided.

The race promises to be close, especially if Mr. Mfume taps into the political machines of Congressmen Al Wynn and Elijah Cummings who endorsed the Mfume effort earlier this week.

The primary is set for September 12.

Look for an overview of the muffin race in the next issue of the Groff/Ellison Political Report on Tuesday September 12.
