[edit] Policy

It would be useful to include some information or quotations on political ideology or policy, especially as he is a current candidate. Fearwig 22:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Election

According to CNN, Cardin now only has 48% of the vote compared to 50% for the Republican candidate. The area about him winning in the article is clearly extremely premature.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.184.58.130 (talk • contribs) 04:22, November 8, 2006 (UTC)

It would also be nice to see something about his campaign stealing Michael Steele's credit report. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.205.137.241 (talk • contribs) 00:00, November 11, 2006 (UTC)

I believe that is in the campaign article; it doesn't belong in the bio article. (And I believe it wasn't his campaign, technically speaking, that did it - it was the DNC or similar.) John Broughton | Talk 16:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
