In order of polling favorite. Moore: Inspirational story. Ambitious. Backed by Wall Street $. Franchot: Takoma Park, party machine, bitter, political hack. Baker: Lazy campaign with no animating purpose except that a lot of elderly people in PG County have muscle memory voting for him. Perez: Even bigger party hack. Takoma Park. Proven incompetent in leadership roles. King: Not clear if campaign is a fundraising con. |
I have no opinion on any of the possibles, but this is so dumb. Did you forget Obama was POTUS for 2 two terms, and that he is a Dem? Michael Steele - the highest profile Black R in the RNC was pushed out. Steele endorsed Biden and is trying to get Rs to not support Trump, though that is a losing battle. |
| Who is the closest to Hogan? I'm looking for a moderate! |
Kelly Schulz will literally be an extension of Larry Hogan, and has my vote over the clown car of a democratic field. |
As long as she doesn’t say something stupid about abortion, I think she has a good chance to win. |
+1 focus on the economy, jobs, affordable homes, transportation issues; keep school within local control-- both the left and right need to stop using public schools to score political points. Stay sane and use common sense regarding covid measures. Hogan took covid very seriously, which I think the vast majority of Marylanders very much appreciated, but we can't live in a world where we mask until there is zero covid. I saw some sign around town for someone with an unusual name -- starts with an H? I think. Anyone know who that person is? |
Yes as long as the Dems Lee choosing super progressives in the primary, we will continue have moderate Republican governors. |
Her major ding is that she’s a republican. Republicans like Larry Hogan don’t come by often. |
If Schulz makes it out of the Republican primary. |
| Anyone have thoughts on Gansler? He’s not gotten any traction but I know a few people who support him. |
| I like Moore. Dem who also like Perez but Moore’s focus on Education is a + for me |
Appreciate this rundown. In my area Franchot seems popular but I think it’s Moore’s to lose. Does anyone have similar insight on the R candidates? |
Yeah, what world do folks live in that they think this is even possible? |
Schulz is Hogan‘s hand-picked successor, and Cox and Ficker are crazy. |
Isn’t Moore from takoma park too? |
