"But surely they’ll be able to find someone who can help turn super blue Maryland red."

How about Stringer Bell? He was always so pro-business.

When watching the Senate on C-Span and she was dress in one of her many red out fits, she looked like a mobile fire hydrant.

Dang - we're going to need to find, like, a dozen fiesty women to replace her. Can we clone Elizabeth Warren yet?

Baltimore is in Maryland, amirite? So why don't the Repugs see if Ray Rice is available to run and try and give whomever the D'Rats select a righteous drubbing. Ray clearly holds the GOP base position on how to treat womenz.

Ben Carson would rather run a loony, no-hoper campaign for president than a slightly less hopeless campaign for Maryland open senate seat. Makes sense, since history shows the grifting opportunities are much greater for presidential losers than senatorial losers.

"His focus is on making a decision"

Just the sort of trait one really desires in someone who is about to mess with your neurons.

I figure that all the teabag candidates are positioning themselves to be Jeb's outreach candidate for Vice-President, that outreach being from Ultra-Conservative wing of the GOP to the Ultra-Ultra-Totally-Batshit-Crazy wing of the party. Grifting opportunities for wingnut veep candidates seem to be the richest of all. Thank you, Sarah, for inspiring us all.

Mr. Kirby Delauter is also from Maryland, but Mr. Kirby Delauter does not like to see the name "Kirby Delauter" in print, so Mr. Kirby Delauter probably won't run for this open seat.

To be fair, in a lot of surgery, you *can* do a lot of pre-planning, so "focusing on making a decision" is a perfectly legitimate thing.

Carson's focus is on whether to run for Preznit or not? Buddy, I think we can help you out... DO IT! One more clown in the car is always better!
