I really hope she can pull it off! There’s a lot riding on this.

People vote, not land. Guess where the majority of the people in Maryland live.

Again, I hope Alsobrooks can pull it off. I really do. I voted for Trone but I will definitely vote for Alsobrooks in November. However, there are still a lot of rural and semi-rural areas in Maryland and if they are ALL giving Hogan 95% of their vote, that’s tough to overcome.

She can take the more populated centers like Oakland, Salisbury, Denton and Easton and let the land vote for Hogan.

The bottom line is that Hogan's pro-life stance will not play well in Howard, Frederick, Montgomery, Baltimore or Prince George's County, where most of the voters live.

I like Alsobrooks, although at this point I still lean Hogan, but I can’t see her taking any of those places on the Eastern Shore or Western Maryland. That’s Hogan country out there.

Yeah my fear is that Alsobrooks will have to turn out literally every last voter in PG County to overcome absolute landslide losses in rural, semi-rural and exurban areas. Maybe she can do it. Like I said, a lot is riding on this race.

I'm not saying that we (i.e., we who don't want Republican control of the Senate) should be complacent, but y'all really need to look at where the voters are, and aren't, in Maryland.

Salisbury? Nah. Hogan only got 68% in Wicomico County in 2018, against Ben Jealous.

Only 68% 🙄 I’m going to say the quiet part out loud, you think he’s going to drop down to under 50% against a Black woman in Salisbury? There’s a reason the Republicans preferred a Hogan matchup with Alsobrooks. His support is a little shaky in the rural areas because he’s not a Trumper, but those voters certainly aren’t going to show up and support Alsobrooks instead.

The entire population of Wicomico county is like 100k. There are not a lot of voters on the eastern shore or allegheny county.

If she gets 60% of the vote from the middle of the state, she will win easily.

It's a presidential year and abortion is on the ballot. Turnout shouldn't be hard.

Well I hope she can do it! She’ll have my vote, but that is like the lowest of low-hanging fruit.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she’s going to get trounced in the general by Hogan. The writing is on the wall.

Those voters will vote for her! Stop with your thinly veiled racism. We get it.

This is 2014 all over again. Anthony Brown wins primary solely on strength of PG County vote. Hogan will beat Alsobrooks statewide just like he beat Brown.

The consequences of a Republican winning the Senate seat are a lot more dire than a Republican winning a gubernatorial race. That difference will be a factor in the race.

+1 Western Maryland does not matter. There are 33,000 people in all of Garrett County. Just Bethesda has twice that many.

Some of you people really need to learn how to do math.

There are 24 counties/jurisdictions in MD. The populations are
Montgomery County - 1.063M
Prince George's County - 948K
Baltimore County 843K
Anne Arundel County - 596K
Baltimore City 561K
...
Bottom 14 counties 826K TOTAL

PG County is bigger than the smallest 14 counties in the state.
The entire Eastern Shore is only about 415K
The entire western panhandle is 551K

Both PG and Montgomery are bigger than the entire panhandle and Eastern Shore put together.

And Alsobrooks will be winning the majority of the top 5 jurisdictions, which is just over half of the state.
Look at the votes today. There were more people that voted for Alsobrooks just in the primary than voted in the entire Republican primary.

Correction to my post. The top 5 jurisdictions total just over 4M which is almost exactly 2/3 of the state. She just has to win easily in the top 5 jurisdictions, 4 of which are largely Democratic and she'll win regardless of the number of panhandle and Eastern Shore voters that vote for Hogan.

In the race for governor, Hogan beat a democrat...twice. I think he has a decent chance of doing it again, in the senate race.

This is a good point- I’d be a lot more nervous if this was a midterm election. I still am a bit nervous, but I think that ultimately MD democrats will understand what is at stake and turn out.

Haha. Sounds like Trump. I don’t want more “businessmen”!

Trone is actually a smart person. I could vote for him.

Alsobrooks is good as a county executive but doesn't have the intellectual heft I'd like to see in a Senator. Of course that isn't necessarily a criterion for election, just look at some of the characters who already do hold Senate seats (looking at you, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley)

Lol Hawley attend Yale and Stanford. You don’t think he has “intellectual heft”?
