ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Lise Van Susteren, a psychiatrist and sister of Fox Television's Greta Van Susteren, plans to announce Thursday that she's seeking the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate. snip

A news release issued Monday said Van Susteren will open her campaign with events in Baltimore and Bethesda. She will discuss the need to improve public schools and the health care system, and will challenge the Bush administration on the conduct of the war in Iraq, the release said.

2. Hmmm. That is kind of interesting. Does anyone know anything

about her?

Is Historian Allen Lichtman still planning on running?

The field in Maryland's 2006 U.S. Senate race may soon grow wider, more curious and less predictable.

On the Democratic side, the number of candidates could easily double to six by next month. Three Montgomery County residents -- a historian, a psychiatrist and a wealthy businessman -- all say they are on the verge of making decisions about whether to join the fray.

The latest possible entrant is Allan J. Lichtman, an American University historian. Lichtman, who has made a career of commenting upon candidates, last week said he is thinking of becoming one.

"I see an opening here," said Lichtman, whose side gigs include political commentary for CNN and a weekly column for the Gazette newspapers.

Lichtman, who lives in Bethesda, would join a Democratic field that includes former congressman Kweisi Mfume (whose candidacy Lichtman argues has been wounded by allegations of favoritism while leading the NAACP) and Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (whom Lichtman argues the Democratic establishment has been too quick to rally around). "I don't believe in inevitability candidates," Lichtman said. "I think that's a bad thing for the country."

3. Lisa's a psychiatrist while Greta & her husband are Scientology lawyers

I wonder if you can be a Scientologist and a Psychiatrist at the same time?
