Reply #6: Josh Rales contributed to Bush in 2004. He is not a real Democrat, Why [View All]

would you support him over Cardin? Yeah, Rales and Mfume are more flashy than Cardin but flashy ain't everything. I just think Cardin makes the best Senator. Older sometimes means wiser and more experienced. And he is actually only 5 years older than Mfume at 63 but has many more years of relevant legislative experience. Rales has zero legislative experience and has not just contributed big bucks to Bush but also to people like Bob Smith of NH, a very conservative Republican and also John Thune. The only reason Rales is a factor at all is his many expensive TV ads. His actual governing philosophy is a cipher, although from his recent strong support of conservative Republicans we can guess. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Steele is more liberal than Rales, imo.
