A page one story in today’s Washington Post – PAC Funds Undercut Claims in Senate Race – is one of those delicious accounts that almost make suffering through this season of election rhetoric worthwhile.

The story, by Matthew Mosk, focuses on the Maryland Senate race and points out the credibility gap between the actions and deeds of Rep. Ben Cardin, who’s looking to move from the House into an open seat in the Senate. Cardin is running in the Democratic primary against former Congressman Kweisi Mfume and a host of others.
