An excerpt...
"Maryland Republican Party Chairman John Kane said last night that he expects Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele (R) will soon announce the launch of a committee to explore a 2006 U.S. Senate bid.
"I think that's what he will do," Kane said in an interview, adding, "He represents the best hope of the Republican Party to win that seat."
Asked later if he had formed a committee, Steele said: "You can quote me: 'I have not formed anything. I have not made any decision.' "
An exploratory committee would mark the first formal step in a bid to replace the retiring Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes (D).
Steele -- who, if elected, would be Maryland's first black senator -- has said he is giving the Senate contest serious consideration. Running for the seat would require Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) to get a new running mate for a reelection bid next year." |
