After the takeover in 1994, knew Republicans would eventually implode under the weight of their own intolerance and demonstrated stupidity.

It took a hell of a lot longer than I thought it would, but the neocons and religious right have run the GOP into the dumper, and I, for one, am relieved it seems to finally be coming to an end.

They suck.

Salon’s War Room runs a pretty thorough Sherlock on the process, although they admit that certain words and phrases open up the field depending on how you interpret them.

Actually, too many voters ignore party ID when they vote. I’m sure you can find a non-insignificant amount of people who vote for Bush then their local Democrat and vice versa. In Steele’s case, he is a Republican in a 2-1 Democratic state and knows just by party ID alone he could lose. He has everything to gain by not being identified as a Republican or a conservative in this most Democratic and moderate of states.

Your obsession with Steele’s party affiliation is a little silly, in my view. I’m fairly certain that Maryland voters will know that he is a Republican come election day…just as they did when he and the Governor were elected. Until then, he will focus on the things that appeal to voters, same any other candidate.
