In this Sept. 28, 2012 photo, independent Maryland Senate candidate, Rob Sobhani discusses his run for office during an interview in an Annapolis, Md., coffee shop. Sobhani, a former Republican, says he decided to become an independent about 10 years ago because he believes Democrats and Republicans are putting party politics ahead of voters. Sen. Ben Cardin and his Republican opponent Dan Bongino face Sobhani, who spent more than $3 of his own money and has elbowed his way into the Maryland Senate race. (AP Photo/Brian Witte)
