Indeed, Chafee has won. In the Maryland primary, Ben Cardin is leading; he’ll be a tougher challenger for Michael Steele than Kweisi Mfume, but he’ll also be a less-bad Senator than Mfume.
(As long-time readers may recall, I live in a neighborhood where there aren’t any seriously contested Republican primaries in which the victor has a real shot at winning office, so I’m a registered Democrat. I took the risk-averse route and voted for Cardin.)
