MD Dems better not nominate a Progressive this time around

Who do you think is voting in a low turnout primary in July during summer vacation?

Markey is basically saying that Franchot has progressive bona fides so you can feel comfortable voting for the old white guy who lives in Takoma Park and has won statewide elections. Hell, people split their ticket for Hogan and Franchot in past years.

This primary really is style over substance. I see little daylight between the candidates when it comes to policies they would enact.

It’s a statewide election.

No sh#t, Sherlock. But it's also in the middle of summer, so those voting are most likely going to be the hyperpartisan Democrats. MoCo will provide a disproportionate share of votes, so really Franchot has to play well in MoCo. A Markey endorsement helps with that.

I don’t think there is any evidence that the vote share for Montgomery County will be any higher than any other year.

Maryland is NOT Virginia

Maryland is not Virginia, but Montgomery County is not Maryland. Voters across the state prefer candidates they know and politicians with Maryland roots. You might be able to move to Montgomery County to be in a DC suburb and run and win to get on the council due to affiliation with a DC job and national politics, however this doesn’t work in the rest of the state. As a result, even Dan Cox would almost certainly win over King.

Maryland voters for Governor also have traditionally rejected the political hack, party machine candidates, which is Perez. He is similar in the same mound as a Kennedy Townsend or Brown. Dud politicians with strong party support. Maryland general election voters have proven that they just don’t like these candidates that seem like they are being thrust on them.

People forget Ehrlich, but he was a Dan Cox style Trump Republican before Trump and Maryland voters had no problem electing him over Kennedy Townsend.

So both King and Perez would almost certainly result in a D loss regardless of who is running on the R side. I think Moore is a bit tricky, because he has all these negatives but he’s viewed as being strongly pro-business. So I think he will prevail over Cox because he will get enough of the Frederick, Howard and Baltimore County votes. However, he will have a tough time with Schulz.

The reality is that this is going to be a low turnout election. Contrary to the narrative, Democratic voters will not be energized by abortion but demoralized. Republican voters will be energized by the court and the “Biden economy”, which is going to be a serious drag.

This is how I know you have no idea what you're talking about -- all the polling data shows that dems are energized and enraged, not demoralized.

My election judge friends tell me it’s republicans showing up at the early voting sites, so far. But that maybe Dems are voting by mail.

It is much more likely that Democratic voters will vote my mail. But also, the PP is confusing national with local. National events are certainly not energizing local races in the middle of the summer and by November and in a mid-term election year with an unpopular President and a lagging economy, oof.

Anyone Democrat in Maryland “energized” by the Supreme Court to vote in local elections was always a likely voter. However, it is the occasional voter who is more likely to lose faith in voting in the face of the Supreme Court decision and the Democrats meek response. “What’s the point of voting?” they ask. To which the Democrats have no response except to ask for more donations.

Which polls? The same ones that say Democrats want Joe Biden to run again?

I cast my vote for Jon Baron

Is the crowded race taking votes away from candidates more likely to win the general election? I have a hard time distinguishing between some candidates on their policies.

Franchot has no backbone and was Hogan's lackey. I would vote for Shultz over him. I just pray anyone is the nominee except him. - signed a lifelong Dem

...so you'd vote for someone who was also a Hogan lackey and had no backbone. You realize she was his Secy. of Commerce, right?

You sound like an idiot.

There is not one Republican ever worth voting for

Ladies if you vote Republican at mid-terms you have lost your mind.

They are coming for all of your rights. This is not only about abortion. We will never have a free and fair election again if we get a republican secretary of state Ugh by Maryland. And for Governor never again.

Dems are up in every race. Try again. Ladies if you vote for a Republican ever again you have lost your dam mind. They are literally telling you what they will do.

SCOTUS is Catholic you want those prayers in public schools because that is where we are headed. National Religion coming your way and ACB is going for Catholicism. Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Roberts, Kavanaugh, ACB people of praise. Sorry Evangelicals SCOTUS makes the rules now.

Besides religion now being every part of our lives how about public schools you want them all like Alabama be Betsey Devos model is headed to every single red state.

Election deniers yep Republicans again cheating and lying ask Kari Lake and Doug Mastriano. “We’re building a parallel Christian society because we are fed up and done with the Judeo-Bolshevik one,” He is so bad even Republicans are putting ads out against him

Schultz never pretended to be something she wasn’t unlike Franchot who does whatever is politically expedient for him. And just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t make them an “idiot.” Someone who goes on an anonymous chat board and calls people names should worry more about their own intelligence and character.
