That's not to say Clark is necesarrily got net joementum fatalis.  He's got plenty of time to reverse the slide.

Btw, I voted for Feingold.

How many jews are there out in Kentucky?

As and aside, Democrats are losing talent as most of the best and brightest go work in the private sector or law school, a situation which isn't as bad as it is Republicans who have their huge think tank apparatus.

Maryland?  You're kidding right?  Maryland Democrats may predominate but usually pretty much everything is a free for all.  No one really has any machines anymore.  Lots of individual followings but hardly anything resembling a machine.

We do have an expensive media market though.

And some states are getting more than field organizers.  Some state party's (like Alaska) couldn't even afford a communications director before the DNC came along to help.

These local organizers aren't doing anything remotely involved with picking candidates in the primary.  They've got more important things to do.

So this is indeed bad news for Arnold.

How about Bacardi Gold Rum?
Grey Goose Vodka?
Bombay Gin?
DiSaronno Ameretto?

Dewar's scotch is pretty bad scotch anyway.

Now if you want to blame particular MD Democrats, that's your perogative.

Also, one of Mfume's claims was that the Democratic establishment has tried to keep out other white candidates who would hurt Cardin.  Well since then, Lise Van Sustren (pyshciatrist and sister of Greta Van Sustren) and Josh Rales (wealthy executive) have entered the race.  According to most reports Allan Lichtman (an AU professor), and Dennis Rasmussen (former Baltimore County executive) will all enter the race.  That's four more white candidates.

Also, as for it supposedly being a racism thing that is hurting Mfume, it seems to me like a lot of people (but not the state party since their neutral) are encouring House of Delegates Minority Whip & Iraq War veteran Anthony Brown (who is black) to enter the race.

As for the negative attacks on Mfume, why are you assuming it was the state party or higher powers that did that? If I we're going to bet on it, I'd probably say that Cardin's opposition research team is most likely quite competent of doing that on their own.

Claiming the word Zionist is a bad word clearly shows a lack of a historical understanding of the term.

Here's just a small example of how things aren't so clear-cut: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Arab.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex and trying to reduce it to simplistic good v. evil terms shows that not everyone here is a member of the reality-based community.
