Isiah Leggett, Maryland Governor 2019

Anonymous
Leggett could be a formidable candidate. Thoughts?

he only ran for CE this time so Duncan wouldn't win. he is too old and althought fiscally responsible in terms of cutting the county budget he is too liberal with programs for what the state needs and wants.

Any reason you won't even give governor-elect Hogan a chance?

Could it be because the democratic leadership in Maryland puts the party before the good of the people of their state?

Democrats have increasingly focused on one-party rule instead of good governance. That is why they lost.

Apparently, the message sent by voters is lost on you.

Not OP. Whether or not Hogan does well, the Democrats are going to put up a candidate, and if Hogan is successful, it better be a good one to be a realistic option. There's nothing wrong with OP's question. It does not mean OP is not giving Hogan a chance.

Democrats lost because Anthony Brown ran a terrible campaign.

I did not support Gansler but in hindsight he would have made a stronger nominee. What Gansler needs to do is spend the next 2-3 years going around the state and trying to be more humble, apologize for some of his past jerkiness and show that he gets it. Build up more political chits statewide and then come back and take on Hogan.

Eh, Maryland is dominated by Dems. If citizens had tired of Dems you'd have seen some more turnover in the down ticket races. It was a total Kathleen Kennedy Townsend flashback.

Ike Leggett? I don't think the rest of the state necessarily sees Montgomery County as a model anymore, if it ever did.

Maryland never elects governors from Montgomery County. It drives me nuts.

I was one of many "reliable" Democratic voters who did not pull the lever for Brown. He was a terrible candidate with no message.

Of course, if Ike is the nominee in the next election it might be deja vu all over again. Count me unimpressed.

That might actually get me out to vote for a republican. He is very wasteful except in his pet projects.

I think Gansler could have defeated Hogan.

The county executive's bathroom is undoubtedly quite nice, though.
