Maryland Senate: Mfume leads early polls

A new Baltimore Sun poll show former head of the NAACP Kweisi Mfume with a slight edge in both a Democratic primary and going up against Republican Michael Steele, the early favorite to be the Republican nominee.

Ben Cardin, another potential Democratic candidate, also beats out Steele in a head to head poll.

This would be a held seat for Democrats, as the candidate are running to replace Paul Sarbanes, who has announced he will not run for re-election.
