Why aren't MoCo Dems rallying around Jealous for Governor?

[Anonymous]

I want balance of race, gender and party.

I want a Republican for Governor (race, gender no bar)

Democrats for House and Congress (race, gender no bar)

White Male Democrat for County Council. I will never vote for a Black or Hispanic Democrat (of any gender) as county executive. I will consider an Asian Republican (of any gender,) too instead of a White Male Democrat.

Democrats for all other positions. Though do not want to ever vote for Aruna Miller. She needs to go.

Remove incumbents from BOE and select people who are also not Ex-MCPS administrator. Pat O'Neil needs to go. So does Docca and Durso.

I would never have known Ben Jealous was black unless the media told me was. Looks mostly white to me, and I'm white.

Anyhow, I'm voting for Jealous because I think Republicans have jumped the shark and that it is fairly dangerous to have a governor who is republican at this point, they seem to have chosen party over country...even if I like Hogan in general.

That is literally what you were doing.

Hogan has governed from the center. He is not “dangerous”.

He has not been dangerous because he needs the state congress. He is still a GOP and has tacitly supported Trump's agenda. I do not want MD to turn purple over time and refuse to vote anyone who is not a Democrats this time.

A vote for Hogan is a vote for Trump. Any person who identifies as a Democrat and votes for Trump and not Jealous is complicit with what Trump is doing.

You’re kidding right? Most Black people have at least 20% of European genes. Ben Jealous I’d venture is at least 40-45% Euopean genes based on looks alone. I’m pretty sure you can vote against him and not be racist. -A Black woman

He's a troll. Plus Rutherford (Hogan's running mate) is black!

One of his parents is WHITE.

Which of these people do you think looks and identifies more as a black man? Which do you think has has more experiences "living black" vs identifying and passing for white?

everyone on the county council is an extremist nanny stater

We did and we are doing. More so after the pipe bombs and the synagogue shooting.

As a Jew originally from Pittsburgh, I find this quite offensive. Voting for Jealous (or against Hogan) has nothing to do with the shooting and your attempts to politicize a tragedy are distasteful.

You might as well quit with this accusation. Unless you think there are a growing number of black racists in MD. Hogan's approval rating among black voters continues to grow.
