Steele is Looking Good (Wizbang Politics)

The more I see of Michael Steele, the more I like him. Not only has he reduced Ben Cardin to stammering in debates, but he has produced my favorite campaign ad of the season. My favorite exchange from the debate excerpts I saw had to do with all of Cardin's efforts to tie Steele to President Bush. Steele pointed out to Cardin that he was running against someone who was not on the ballot.

The polls are showing Steele closing in and I am feeling increasingly highly optimistic about his chances. I think Ben Cardin is feeling it, too.

Update: Mary Katharine Ham links to Steele's new commercial featuring his momma. I love it, too. She writes about the effectiveness of his ads and I agree. When my husband, who is not crazy about politics, watched the "puppies" ad on my computer he laughed at the puppy part of it, but when it was over he commented about how he agreed with the message about fixing the problems in Congress before they could fix ours. The message got through and stuck. That is as effective as you can get. And the puppy was really cute, too.

Jim Addison:

How pathetic is it that the NAACP is trying to cover Cardin's butt for ditching their debate?

"He never actually confirmed . . . we thought he would make it . . ."

He was such a total loser in the previous debate that he decided to adopt the Bob Casey, Jr. strategy from Pennsylvania: run and hide.

It should be easy for him to adapt to it, since he was one of the earliest proponents of "cut and run."

Steele, Santorum, Kean, DeWine, Burns, Mark Kennedy, Bouchard, Allen, and McGavick are all running against total losers. They won't all win, of course . . . but does that say more about them, or about the dimwit voters who will support their worthless opponents?
