Ben Cardin is worried about Blacks not supporting him:
Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin has called on U.S. Sen. Barack Obama to woo black voters in his Senate run against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, a black Republican making inroads in Maryland minority communities that typically vote Democrat.
"I think he will be helpful for energizing my campaign," Mr. Cardin said of plans to campaign tomorrow with the Illinois Democrat, the country's only black senator. "I think he will attract all voters of Maryland."
Mr. Cardin, 62, a white 10-term congressman from Baltimore, yesterday did not acknowledge racial considerations in teaming with Mr. Obama against Mr. Steele, 47, the first black elected statewide in Maryland.
Obama wouldn't do it for me. Bringing someone in to speak for you instead of speaking for yourself is a big turn off.
