Democratic leaders would prefer not to have a constitutional amendment on the ballot that might become a dominant issue in the campaign, and they are playing down the prospects that an amendment will pass during the 90-day session that begins Jan. 11 -- even if Murdoch should rule the law unconstitutional.
Democrat Brian Frosh, chairman of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, agreed, saying he would be surprised if there is any major change in gay rights laws at the 2006 legislative session.
Derek Walker, spokesman for the Maryland Democratic Party, said he does not think there are enough votes in the legislature to put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the ballot.

 Can Clinton Save his Candidacy? - The World and I Magazine
This is a year of turmoil and terror in the Democratic Party: Their likely presidential nominee battered, bloodied, and ridiculed even before the general election has begun; angry, unforgiving voters appear ready to wreak punishment on the scandal-ridden Democratic-controlled Congress; and a fiery anti-incumbent mood may be sweeping the nation.
This is the astonishing situation that now faces the Democrats and Bill Clinton as he moves to lock up the nomination and convince a doubting nation that he is not the "slick Willie" portrayed by his political enemies, depicted by the new media, and lampooned by late-night comedians.
Indeed, many Democrats fear that their primaries are about to deliver to them "the worst of all worlds, a bleeding front-runner stumbling over the finish line" to receive the Democratic presidential nomination, said Sawyer.

 Maryland Senate Race May Hinge On Ethnicity
Former NAACP president Kweisi Mfume leads U.S. Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin in what is shaping up to be a racially polarized Democratic Senate primary in Maryland, even as roughly a third of the electorate has not settled on a candidate, according to a new Washington Post poll.
For the first time in Maryland history, both major parties have the potential to nominate an African American, and the poll suggests that the hopes of all of the major candidates will depend on their ability to cross racial boundaries for support.
Steele has a clear motive to meddle in the Democratic primary, said Thomas Schaller, a University of Maryland Baltimore County political science professor who is supporting Cardin.

 The Democratic Party
The guide being used in Maryland is consistent with Republican efforts across the country, and in past elections, to challenge voters in order to deny them their right to vote and to manipulate the outcome of an election.
The effort to challenge voters in Maryland uncovered by the Washington Post clearly shows a disregard for that court ruling and is further evidence of the Republican Party’s commitment to keeping Americans they disagree with from voting.
The Washington Post story also comes a day after an agreement was reached in front of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, which gives voters a partial victory guaranteeing that nobody will be turned away by a lack of ID documentation.

 CQPolitics.com - Cardin Is the Winner in Maryland Democratic Senate Race
The first candidate to enter the race, Mfume harshly criticized Democratic leaders in Maryland for not supporting his campaign, accusing them of trying to anoint Cardin as the nominee before the primary election was held.
While African-Americans have traditionally supported Democratic candidates in the state, the Republican Party has put their hopes on Steele, who is African-American and speaks frequently on the campaign stump about creating further economic opportunities for Maryland’s large fl constituency.
Democrats, though, will bombard Steele with accusations that he is too conservative and too closely connected to Bush, who lost Maryland badly in both of his presidential bids and remains unpopular in the state.

Her identification as the Democratic front-runner is partly beyond her control, the result of high name recognition and decades of fame.
