The Democratic primary for Maryland’s open Senate seat is now a dead heat between Reps. Donna F. Edwards and Chris Van Hollen, according to a poll released Tuesday morning.

The survey, conducted by Gonzales Research & Marketing Strategies over the past week, finds Van Hollen winning 38 percent of likely voters in the April 26 Democratic primary, and Edwards winning 36 percent, within the poll’s margin of error.

The Gonzales survey shows an electorate that is polarized along racial and geographic lines. Edwards has a 50-point lead among African American likely Democratic primary voters, while Van Hollen has a 40-point lead among white likely Democratic primary voters.

Edwards has a 26-point lead in the city of Baltimore, and Van Hollen leads by 16 points in the Baltimore suburbs. She garnered 68 percent support in her home county of Prince George’s, and he drew 60 percent in Montgomery County, his home base.

I'm so happy I could just BUST! 38-36 is basically a dead heat! Most recently, the campaign split Baltimore into groups and assigned different people to different groups. I got "District 10" which has some seriously crime-ridden neighborhoods. I'm workin' it. Making calls, visiting seniors, finding community meetings. I will give Donna District 10. Some how, some way, she's going to win.

1. Great news! (And I promise to be in touch

about phone banking on her behalf. I hope other members of the group can offer their help, also.)

2. We have a predictive dialer.

You use your cell phone but call in to a line that accesses a database of callers. It sifts through the wrong numbers and disconnects and finds you a live person to talk to every time. And the caller sees the Donna Edwards for Senate office number, not your phone number. If you're interested in making calls, I'll hook you up.

5. They are both good candidates.

It is a pity they are running against each other.
