Here are some key points:

In part that is because early on in the primary fight Donna Brazile, who is black and who ran Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000, warned Democrats not to push Mr. Mfume out of the race lest the party be seen as taking African-American voters for granted. Mr. Cardin won the early backing of his party's establishment and was never able to overcome the perception that he was committing the very sin Ms. Brazile warned against.

If Mr. Steele does win next week, some credit will belong to Gov. Robert Ehrlich. Four years ago Mr. Ehrlich tapped Mr. Steele to be his running mate. The governor has led a fight to fix failing, predominantly black Baltimore schools.

[Mr. Ehrlich] ...met with Mr. Mfume, views him as someone he can work with, and would like to see the Democrat elected as the next mayor of Baltimore.

King makers coming from the right in the northern cities???

Look out Dems. Your days are numbered.

UPDATE 11/5/08 - Well, maybe not. Quit gloating already.
