[quote=Anonymous]No. The legislature has a super majority in both houses and can override vetos. For many people, they want a Republican governor that can give at least mild checks and balances against the supermajority. This way, the legislature needs enough votes to override a veto to be sure that it really should be legislated. Second, MD has always been a solid blue state. Every election anywhere other than Western MD and Eastern Shore is an election for Democrats to lose. The two times in recent memory that the Democrats lost the governors mansion were when they submitted two incompetent Lt Governors, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Anthony Brown. As long as the Democratic party picks a halfway competent candidate, the Democrats should win.[/quote]
