Democrats Worried About Steele

The truth is that they're scared to death of him. Check out this Washington Post article.
An internal document prepared by a top Democratic strategist warns that a majority of African American voters in Maryland are open to supporting Republican Senate candidate Michael S. Steele and advises the party not to wait to "knock Steele down." The 37-page report says a sizable segment of likely black voters, as much as 44 percent, would readily abandon their historic Democratic allegiances "after hearing Steele's messaging."
TRANSLATING THE REPORT: Steele's message is appealing to black voters. That appeal is causing mass hysteria amongst Democratic stategerists. That hysteria is evidenced by the advice to "knock Steele down." That's just another way of saying that Democrats had better start trashing Michael Steele before he solidifies his support amongst likely black voters.

Here's another tidbit of news that's scaring Maryland Democrats:
There are other aspects of the survey, though, that Bositis says are consistent with national findings. Among them: that young black men represent a voting bloc far less loyal to Democrats. It also finds more support for Steele in Baltimore than in Prince George's County, more backing among churchgoers, and stronger support among those without a college degree.
In other words , blacks who grew up in the 'Civil Rights Era' are far more supportive of Democrats than are young black voters are. Since the Civil Rights black voters will eventually die off, the inroads that the GOP, especially under RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman's leadership, is making will show up more and more as time goes by.
