I will pray extra hard the next few days. I hope Catholics vote Pro-life, anti-Embryonic Stem cells, and against gay marriage.

I’m still not sure which canidates to pick for my state atleast. I’d go with all Republicans, but I saw an ad that Steele supports stem cell. My little sister (really into politcs) tells me Cardin is rather conservative for a democrat, but knowing the democrats history… Then again, she was a page for Ben Cardin.

er…excuse me - Ben Cardin a conservative Democrat? He has a 100% rating by by NARAL! He votes for every tax hike, against the military, etc. There is not a conservative bone in his body.
Steele is Catholic even was a seminarian. Yes I read the same thing.
Here is an article of interest.
washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/11/AR2006021101203.html
Steele, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, used a radio interview to try to distance himself from the dust-up and expand his views on the controversial research. He offered several conditions of his support and gave one example of a type of research that some leading scientists in the field say is not practical at this point.
Some experts say a technique Steele supports is impractical. (Gerald Martineau - The Washington Post)
“I support embryonic stem cell research. However, I am cautious of the science and want the scientists and politicians to be smart in how we approach it,” he said on WBAL in Baltimore. “I don’t want this research to go forward without some moral compass to guide the research.”
A Roman Catholic and former seminary student, Steele opposes abortion and the death penalty.
I was surprised to read that too…Still I am voting for Steele - Ben Cardin speaks at Maryland NARAL events as well as O’Malley. In fact the entire Maryland Democratic Party was there “celebrating” abortion!
Read all it about on Maryland NARAL’s web site:
prochoicemaryland.org/issues/eveningofchocolate.shtml#1
Look at the list of sponsors! Every liberal in Maryland must have been there!
And “Conservative” Ben Cardin was the KEYNOTE SPEAKER at the MD NARAL event celebrating Abortion.

That Washington Post article is from February. Surely he has fined tuned is position in the mean time. He does appear to be a strong candidate. Too bad it just isn’t going to be the Republicans’ year.
Democrats will take 225-232 seats in the house. Nancy will be the new Speaker. The Senate is so very close. In my state of Missouri, both campaigns have gone extremely negative (especially Talent, or more specifically the RNC) and it seems the Democrats has a little momentum. And wow, if Webb beats Allen in Virginia, that would really be a significant sign of the times. Webb has a slight lead, but the likelyhood that the Dems take both Virginia and Missouri are about 25%.
I think the House going Democrat and Senate (S.C. Judges)staying Republican would be best for the country. It will also allow the Republicans a trip to the mirror in hopes they will do a self-examination to determine if they are going to embrace their pro-life roots or their big business roots. Time will tell.

The way I see it, strategically speaking, because of the need to confirm more and more conservative/proLife/proFamily Federal and Supreme Court judges, it is much more important, at this time, for the Republicans to retain control of the Senate.
I don’t want the Dems to win the House, of course, but that would not be as big of a disaster as if the Dems were to win BOTH the House of Representatives AND the U.S. Senate. The ProLife cause would then basically be dead for at least the next several years, maybe a generation if Senate Dems refuse to bring conservative judge nominations to the floor of the Senate for a Vote.

Don’t think Steele supports EMBRYONIC stem cell research. Glad your little sister is interested in politics, but remember how impressionable they are at that age.

Of course, I think my sister means, “conservative according to her”. She was a page for Cardin, but on the democrat side, she would be an ultra-left wing democrat that would make even Hillary Clinton blush!
She’s majoring in Political Science now - wants to become a foriegn diplomat to Spain perhaps. I just hope she doesn’t run for an elected office…You don’t know her like I do.
