Nope
I tend to vote for Democrats, but I'll vote for Hogan. Dem candidate is way to left for my taste

Yup. Another liberal who thinks any liberal who doesn't toe the party line should be killed.

Who’s the “we”?

There are plenty of people satisfied with the job he’s doing. Enough that it’ll be a landslide

+1. I am a left leaning centrist and like most things Hogan stands for. TBH if he ran as independent, not R he would 100% have my vote. Otherwise, right now i am deathly allergic to anybody with (R)


Doesn’t this line of thinking reinforce the type or partisan gridlock we’re trying to stop? This is why the currents are are like these why the current Rs in office are doing little to stop Trump, they know despite what people say in the end they will vote based on the party instead of the candidate. It gives little cover to those who might actually be independent.


Again, I would vote for him if only anybody could identify anything good that he has done please.

The silence is sort of deafening.


One could argue he's been a decent steward. In many cases that's all we need from a governor. The state is not going through a crisis, notwithstanding Baltimore which is a dysfunctional mess of its own. MD's economy is robust, MD fiscal status is robust, schools are robust. Is there a cry for change? Some people would certainly demand/want change but ask yourself honesty, if Hogan had a D next to his name and had done the exact same over the past four years, would you be looking for a replacement? Probably not.


If that D governor had cut education funding to my part of the state, aligned himself with a gruesome president, and cut public transportation plans like the red line and purple line, no, I probably would not have voted for him.

And you say MD is not in crisis and then immediately mention that Baltimore is a crisis. What has Hogan done regarding our "crisis?" Anything?


The simple reality is Baltimore is a dysfunctional mess that Annapolis can do little about. I say this as someone who grew up in Baltimore and still loves the city and finds the ongoing problems painful. The State has, over the decades, poured billions into Baltimore with little return. The proposed mass transit link for Baltimore was going to cost far more than it justifiably could return, especially given 99+% of the metro area wouldn't have used the Red Line. Baltimore has deeply entrenched cultural problems that makes it exceedingly difficult for politicians outside the city to do anything about it. O'Malley couldn't do anything and he was a former mayor, as was Schaefer.

I know Maryland politics well enough that there are plenty of hypocritical democrats in the sense that all that matters is the D or R next to the candidate's name and they blindly vote for it. Had Hogan been a D his reelection would be guaranteed. Because he's a R it's probably 50-50. It will likely come down to how furious the Ds in the rest of the state are about Trump (who has nothing to do with Hogan) and how much support he keeps in the Baltimore suburbs (which has little love for Baltimore itself).


I am a life long Democrat, who has voted Democratic 95% plus of the time. I likely will vote for Hogan, however. Hogan has nothing to do with Trump or national politics. Moreover, Annapolis can be too liberal for me, and certainly some MC Delegates are simply out there in their own worlds. In my view, in Maryland, the Dems needs a check, and Hogan is doing that. While I disagree with the school start date issue, I consider that to be so minor in the big picture. At the Federal level, however, I certainly will vote for Dems.

If this happens it will cost $20.00 to cross the Bay Bridge and after tax increases gas will be 6 bucks a gallon. Who knows what a nice bottle of wine would cost it could be taxed at 200%

Voted for Baker but now will do my best to help Jealous get elected.

Don't be too sure, when people get to the voting booth and are angry at Trump and decide to go full on straight Democratic ticket.
