. . . "The '06 election is going to be won or lost in Prince George's," said state Sen. Ulysses E. Currie, a Democrat from the county. "The governor was in Prince George's two days ago. Mfume was there. Ben was there. O'Malley was there. Everyone realizes you have to go through Prince George's."

"Let's hear it for the Democratic bastion of Maryland," County Executive Jack Johnson, a Democrat, said at a recent Mfume fundraiser in Clinton. "You can get votes on the Eastern Shore, Baltimore or any other place. But to get elected, you have to go through where? Prince George's County."

"For the Democratic Party, it is important that you have a ticket coming out of the primary election that reflects the values, the interests and the political might of the party," said Del. Anthony G. Brown, a Prince George's Democrat. "You're going to have to see one, if not two, Prince Georgeans on the ticket."

"I stood in this room six months ago when they were trying to put a dagger in my heart, and it was Jack Johnson and Obie Patterson and Carolyn Howard who stood here with me," Mfume said.
