So the Maryland Democratic Party is endorsing the White Dude….

Very interesting to see in a series of tweets (here, here, here) that the Maryland Democratic Party is endorsing Senator Ben Cardin for re-election. Which is very interesting, considering:

1. Senator Cardin is being challenged in the Democratic Primary
   
2. Senator Cardin is being challenged by an African-American State Senator, Anthony Muse

So I guess I have to ask a few questions for the Maryland Democratic Party:

1. Why are you endorsing any candidate during a contested primary?

• In a state with such a large African-American population, what message does it send to African-American voters that the establishment is getting behind the white dude who has been in public office since 1966?

Anybody? Bueller?
