WASHINGTON -- A new poll of Maryland voters shows Sen. John Kerry with a commanding lead over Sen. John Edwards as both campaigns make one last push in the state before Tuesday's primary election.

The survey of 625 voters by WRC-TV and Mason-Dixon said Kerry leads Edwards by a margin of 62 percent to 20 percent. The telephone survey was done from Monday to Wednesday and has a margin of error of plus or minus four points.

"Kerry is riding this wave of momentum," said Larry Harris, principal of Mason-Dixon.

"Edwards has not spent much time or money here and Maryland is not a Deep South state, so what kind of positive stimulus would prevent Marylanders from voting for the front-runner?" he asked.

Harris also thinks Democrats are looking to find the best candidate to challenge President Bush. The poll said Kerry would beat Bush in Maryland, 47 to 38 percent, while Edwards would edge the president by a 44 to 39 percent margin in the state.

1. Well God, if he couldn't carry Maryland I'd be worried.

He'd better keep those Gore states, by God. And he better pick up three or four more states while he's at it, or he'll have to answer to me. :P

2. He'd better? You'd better !

There's only one way that J.F.Kerry is going top win the election.
That's if all Democrats - and this includes my fellow DUers - get off their butts and start campaigning NOW!
Kerry is the real deal, but he can't do anything unless the people he's endeavouring to represent get out and vote!
The percentage of Americans that exercise their constitutional right to vote is pathetic!
Get in a positive state of mind - forget about monkey boy smirk - and concentrate on convincing your fellow Americans to vote for ...

3. I have enough trouble trying to get Arkansas over to the Dem column.

For Christ's sake, don't put Maryland on my back too!
