[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hogan wins by a landslide. Better name recognition and appeals to moderates from both parties, which is where most people are. Normally the Dem would have a massive advantage in PG and Baltimore counties...don't think so w Raskin.[/quote]
Exactly. Raskin is another Tom Perez. Has zero traction outside of Montgomery County.[/quote]

Van Hollen used to be a MoCo house member. How did he develop statewide traction?[/quote]
By being a moderate, not a national liberal standard bearer.  They had to gerrymander the district in order for him to beat Connie Morella and even then just barely. He also had the benefit of running against weak primary opposition and a bad Republican candidate. [/quote]

Not exactly true. It was a huge upset when he won his first primary against Mark Shriver. [/quote]
The Senate primary pitted him against Donna Edwards and a bunch of also rans. His Republican senate opponent was endorsed by Trent Lott. The outcome was a forgone conclusion. [/quote]
