Are there any recent polls showing David Trone versus Hogan Alsobrooks versus Hogan?

everything is out of control why should we elect her a US Senator ?

Crime decrease and cops stopped beating people

Schools are better

Is Alsobrooks up to the task of defeating Larry Hogan? Upthread someone mentioned that there are numerous clips of her praising Hogan. If true, that would be very tough to overcome. If I were Hogan, I would run about a million commercials with those.

Alsobrooks is expert at winning endorsements. That’s how you win primary elections in heavily democratic areas. She has never had to campaign directly to voters for votes in a competitive election, much less a statewide election. She hasn’t ever even had to appeal to voters who are not Black and the knock on her in PG County has been that she has even excluded Hispanics from appointments, even though they represent over 20% of the population. So she’s already disadvantaged herself statewide before a single ballot is cast. She’s not going to make it.

Nominating a County Executive with zero name recognition to go up against a two-term governor seems very risky. That feels like the kind of thing a party does when it is admitting defeat and conceding the race. But this is obviously a very winnable race for Democrats.

There’s one upthread showing Trone and Hogan basically tied and Alsobrooks doing a little worse. About 15% undecided. But it’s only April. People will be locked in by Election Day and will fully understand that lifetime Supreme Court seats are on the line.

What relevance does the Washington Post have for the state of Maryland?

You're not from around here, are you?

You’re not from around here. The Post doesn’t bother covering Maryland news, except for a few odd stories about Montgomery County when it’s embarrassing enough and even fewer about PG County. Just enough to keep the few subscribers happy. They don’t cover the Oriole’s or Ravens at all. So no, the Washington Post is not relevant for Maryland and their endorsement in this state wide race is not going to move the needle.

Alsobrooks is toast.

Keep in mind that Hogan over performed the polling in both of his gubernatorial victories. Strong indicator that there are a lot of “shy” Hogan voters who don’t want to publicly admit that they’re voting Republican.

Yup.

I think there's also a lot of country boys that call him a RINO but will check the box next to his name when they come out for Donnie

Two things:

1. Hogan was running for governor, not senator. Crossing party lines is low risk in gubernatorial elections. That’s why it’s not unusual to see democratic governors in deeply red states.

2. Hogan never ran for office during a presidential election year, when people are very focused on lifetime Supreme Court appointments. And the Senate is inextricably linked with the Supreme Court.

and 3. Hogan was elected before Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Yes, if only guys voted, Hogan probably would win. However, it's not only guys that vote.

He's a strong candidate, for sure. The only question is weather he can convince Marylanders that he is NOT a lockstep Republican vote for Supreme Court appointees. If not for this one issue, he would cruise to an easy victory.

Trone has all the money and a decent story (grew up using an outhouse, built a successful company, is not a terrible person despite being rich). Not sure he can win his primary since he does not have a track record of successes on issues that people care about.

The leader in the "roadside sign competition" is the always reliable Robin Ficker. Ten time champion!

If not for this one issue of measly, pesky, minor issue of women having the right to make their own health care and reproductive decisions...
