[edit] Combination
This is the only article, for the 34 U.S. Senate elections in 2006, where the Senate race and the races for the House of Representatives have been combined.
[edit] U.S. Senate information
Not seeing any particular reason why the Maryland election for U.S. Senate should be treated any differently than the 33 other Senate elections, I propose to pull out the material related to the Senate race and put it into another, separate article. If there are good arguments why I should not do this, I'd like to hear them within the next few days. John Broughton 21:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jeff Stein
Hey, what happened to the mention of Jeff Stein? Do we fail to mention candidates who aren't in league with big business? --Jgpgmdusa 02:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- If you look at the politics1 website, you'll see that a lot of of other candidates are also omitted from the list. My sense is that no one cares whether this article is kept up-to-date. John Broughton 13:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I find this page lacking
OK I set up a page for an 8th district challenger, Daniel Zubairi, ignore it for a month and poof.
I hate to tell our European deletion fanatics (I looked up who deleted my page) that who challenges a candidate is interesting. Some folks like to look back and see the history of a district - with a little detail, not just "Mr. X" challenged the incumbent.
Of course the apparent tendency to only allow incumbents a full page spread might open Wikipedia up to some questions from the FEC. But that’s for the lawyers to decide.
FYI - I think Jeff is a lawyer - but you wouldn't know that because someone deleted his page too.
