| Description | From the article:
SAYING HE THINKS there's room to run to the right in the Democratic primary, former Baltimore County Executive Dennis F. Rasmussen said he is "very much leaning toward" running in the U.S. Senate race to replace retiring Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes.
...
Rasmussen, a former delegate and state senator born in Essex, said he would run as a social moderate and fiscal conservative, a combination that he believes presents the best chance for Democrats against presumed Republican candidate Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele.
...
When Rasmussen lost his re-election attempt as county executive in 1990, it wasn't because he had a reputation as a moderate. Parodied as "Taxmussen," he was blamed for ballooning spending and taxes that led to a fiscal crisis in the county. |
