[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Peter Franchot just declared that he will run for Governor, but he has not actually filed yet.

I predict that it will be Boyd Rutherford vs Peter Franchot for the next election and that Peter Franchot will probably win, but narrowly.  Lt Governors have not done well in MD for some time.  In part, it is due to the fact that most Lt Governors do virtually nothing and then have one or two detractions against them (like Anthony Brown's debacle of rolling out the MD marketplace for ACA health care).  Boyd Rutherford does get the benefit of having no failures in his term, but he also doesn't seem to have any successes either.  There has been very little news about what he's done as Lt Governor for 7 years now and that doesn't look good.  Peter Franchot has had a lot more news about him and his successes in the news and that will probably lead to him having an advantage in the general election.  [/quote]

The Democrats in general don't like Peter Franchot. In fact, a lot actively dislike him. [/quote]
