Perez’s whole strategy is to what exactly? Carry MoCo establishment liberals, hope for a WaPo endorsement and prey that’s enough?

He’s only every won 1 election in his career and it was for a District 5 council seat in 2002 where he got under 10k votes. He then only served one term in elected office. Takes a lot of chutzpah to think he can be governor. [/quote]

It worked for Terry McAuliffe! (Running DNC then run for Gov)[/quote]
Different people, different states and different times.

McAuliffe ran as a pro-business, pro-economic growth candidate who had credibility that he could deliver on that.

At a time when Democratic donors were opening their pocket books in record numbers to candidates, DNC fundraising lagged. He also provided to be an incompetent manager, for example who can forget the Iowa caucus? The lack of competence is something that has followed him throughout his career. The most significant thing he did in his time at DOL was issue an overtime rule that was done at the last minute and so poorly crafted that it could not pass extremely easy agency deference test for rule making.

It’s like the campaign platform of a child. And he still misses the most important message that all Marylanders want to hear, because he never spent any time thinking about why Hogan won, which how do we get our state to be a vibrant and growing? The candidate that owns that message with credibility will be the candidate that wins. [/quote]
