[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why do you think he doesnt have a good chance? he is a very popular governor. I would vote for him

Van Hollen is popular, unlike his other opponents.  And more importantly, with a vote in the Senate at stake, many moderate Dems who supported him for Governor wouldn't support him this time around.[/quote]

State elections are one thing but no way I'd vote to tip the senate to the GOP.[/quote]
+2. A vote for Hogan for Senate is a vote for Mitch McConnell. Maryland is not going to do that. Just ask Connie Morella, who finally lost to Van Hollen after a vote for her became a vote for Gingrich.[/quote]

Newt Gingrich resigned from Congress in January 1999.

Chris beat Connie nearly 4 years later in November 1992.  He won because Maryland Democrats re-drew the 8th Congressional district into a funny-looking shape that was much more heavily Democratic than the district from the previous decade.[/quote]
