Cardin Promises Cancer Cure By 2015
That's the headline of a Baltimore Sun article. My first reaction to the article's title was "Next he'll promise voters they can walk on water if they vote for him."

With a month to go before primary voters head to the polls to choose Senate nominees, Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin kicked off yesterday a weeklong effort to highlight his congressional record and vision on health care by making the mother of all campaign promises, to cure cancer.WOW!!! He actually got 15 people to show up for a campaign event. Does this mean he isn't winning votes and influencing elections with this proposal?

"We are going to lick cancer by 2015," Cardin told a group of 15 people at the HopeWell Cancer Support Center on Falls Road.

Of course, if Cardin loses, he will be able to tell anyone who loses a family member to cancer, "Hey, I told ya so!"
I don't know if Steele can win in liberal Maryland or not, but if he loses to Cardin, he will undoubtably feel like Aron Nimzowitsch, a Latvian chessmaster from the early 20th Century. Upon being beaten by a lesser player, Nimzowitsch jumped on his chair in the quiet tournament hall and screamed, "How can I lose to such an idiot?"
