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]

I'm a Marylander, and that's actually not the most important message that I want to hear.[/quote]
And you apparently also have spent zero time thinking about why Hogan won twice and has sky high approval ratings. By all means, continue to learn nothing and go out and nominate another party insider dud (Kennedy-Townsend, Brown) or another liberal activist and you will be wondering in 2022 how Maryland elected another Republican governor.[/quote]

You're conflating multiple issues here. O'Malley was a party insider who won. Jealous was a party outsider who lost. "Marylanders" are a diverse group of voters who don't all want exactly the same thing.[/quote]
You say that I’m conflating and then lump O’Malley in with Brown and Kennedy-Townsend, like there is no other useful information to distinguish them.

Marylanders are a diverse group, but thank god Montgomery County politics has limited influence over state politics, which might be another datapoint worth thinking about too.

Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Maryland in the 21st century

1998: Parris Glendening (won)
2002: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (lost)
2006: Martin O'Malley (won)
2010: Martin O'Malley (won)
2014: Anthony Brown (lost)

You have a sample size of 5, and you want to differentiate further among them?[/quote]
Look dude. Just last year, the number one issue for all Marylanders is job growth. 93% said it was a priority. I understand that a strong and vibrant state economy is not your priority but that puts you in the minority and that makes you out of step with Marylanders, just like Tom Perez.
