Desperate times call for desperate measures and Maryland Democratic leaders (Old Line Idiots) appear to desperate.  There is an effort in Maryland to link the Maryland Lt. Governor Michael S. Steele to the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina.  Lt Governor Steele is currently running for the U.S Senate seat that will be vacated when Paul Sarbanes (D) finally retires.  Steele poses a threat to the Democrats in Maryland because he is a black republican who is trying making inroads in the black community. 

From the Washington Times:

"You might have a crossover of black Democrats voting for Steele. That's what everybody is really worried about. It's what we call a legacy vote," says state Sen. Gloria Lawlah, Prince George's Democrat and member of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland.

What the heck is a “legacy vote”  Independent minded blacks and not the Democratic plantation blacks are starting to think twice before giving away their vote to the Democrats and getting nothing in return.   The Old Line idiots in Maryland are clearly concerned that Mr Steele will become Maryland’s next U.S Senator.
