| Description | Allan J. Lichtman, a Bethesda Democrat and history professor at American University, declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate yesterday, portraying himself as an alternative to conventional politicians, including those in his party.
Lichtman, who has never held office, will compete for the party's nomination in a field of candidates that includes Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and former congressman and NAACP leader Kweisi Mfume.
Speaking at North Bethesda Middle School, where his son is a student, Lichtman directed some of his remarks toward Cardin, whom he said he perceives as the front-runner. "Some say in this election, we must unite behind an anointed front-runner," he said. "But we know the anointment model has never worked in Maryland. Anointment is a recipe for nothing more than a Republican senator in 2006." |
