19. Cardin isn't the better Candidate
He is the candidate for corporate interest, which has been filling his coffers up for years. The fact that he has more money than Steele should raise an alarm. He tried to use his money to drown out opposition but it won't work. Mfume is the one who is actually connecting with voters and he is the clear progressive in this race.

Mfume won't fund the war in Iraq like Cardin did, he won't vote for the patriot act, and he won't answer to corporate masters. Kweisi can win if the party rallies behind him. The DLC Cardin backers should be exposed for what they are shills who are trying to use scare tactics to promote their corporate agenda.

I think Cardin himself isn't actually as bad as the DLC people, and he has taken some good positions, the problem is that he won't have the backbone to stand up to the right and will end up just being another boring centerist. He obviously comes with strings attached, not to mention he is running a lackluster campaign.
