Cardin had edged out his closest competitor, the former NAACP head Kweisi Mfume and 16 other candidates. He will face Republican lieutenant governor Michael Steele. The race between Cardin, who is white, and Mfume, was amicable, neither man criticizing the other, and both voicing support for troop withdrawals from Iraq and universal health insurance. Democrats interviewed on Tuesday said they chose Cardin over Mfume because of Cardin\u2019s vote against the war in Iraq. Sarbanes also voted against the war. Mfume wasn\u2019t in Congress at the time.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>You know what the untold story here is, is that the Democrats have once again said (raspberry) to a black. Mfume ran the NAALCP! Mfume was in Congress once as a Democrat, Kweisi Mfume, and wanted to be in the Senate &#8212; and the Democrats are saying, &#8220;We\u2019ve gotta stand up for more minorities in public institutions. There\u2019s discrimination out there, and there\u2019s radical racism on the part of the Republicans.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>Here was a chance for the very liberal state of Maryland, as liberal as they are in Massachusetts, to show how they are not racists and how they are into diversity and rewarding people who have been discriminated against their whole lives, like Kweisi Mfume, a chance to vault to the top. Instead, Maryland liberals, as usual, chose the white guy.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: From Maryland: &#8220;Representative Ben Cardin, veteran congressman who voted against the war in Iraq, won the Democrat nomination to replace retiring Democrat Paul Sarbanes.
