Defending cardin

I do not intend to vote for Ben Cardin to be my Senator. I do not agree with much of anything he believes in politically. But it's unfair to tar him with the comments made by a staffer on her (now defunct) blog.

This has been blogged about at Wizbang! (h/t PostWatch ) HotAir Hedgehog Report CrabLaw The Sun Lies and Town Hall.

I wish Steele's response had been more along the lines of "I'm pleased to see that my opponent wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior."

FWIW, neither the Baltimore Sun nor Washington Post seem to have done any original reporting on the topic. The Sun relied on an AP item.

To my mind the only comment made by Ms. Gruber that should be heeded is

I love my job. I love the people I work with. I like my candidate and I adore his wife.

I wish to see Michael Steele win this eleciton on the merits; not due to the antics of some low level staffer.
