October 6, 2006 - Zeese Cleaned Cardin & Steele’s Clocks!

I want to thank the Sun for covering the first Senatorial debate (“Senate hopefuls launch tough talk”, 10-4.)

However, there are two important points that were missing from the report.

The first is that Maryland political history was made at the debate when Kevin Zeese became the first “third party” candidate to appear in a debate for a statewide office.

Secondly, I think readers who were not at the debate should have been informed that Zeese clearly won the debate, a fact acknowledged even by debate moderator Doni Glover.

If Zeese is allowed to participate in a statewide-broadcasted televised debate, and if he again routs Michael Steele and Ben Cardin as he did Tuesday night, then the Maryland senatorial contest really will become a three-way race.

In short, if Ben Cardin truly believes in democracy and agrees to another debate that includes Zeese, Maryland voters will be treated to one of the most exciting and widely covered races in the nation this year!
