[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes Kelly Schulz wants to run as Hogan’s heir but I don’t think Hogan will embrace that storyline and it will be pretty hard to win a primary running on competence and (at least implicitly) anti-Trump.

Dan Cox is much closer to Youngkin, except of course Youngkin’s recipe for success was to hide behind his fleece vest and let people project what they wanted onto him. Cox is loud and proud about being a Trumper and can’t win a general in MD. [/quote]
Hogan endorsed her. She’s his handpicked successor.[/quote]
Yup. Without the Republican primary, she would be the odds on favorite for Governor, particularly when you look at the Democrats running. [/quote]

What exactly is missing in the field of Democrats running? 
It seems like there is someone for every faction of the electorate.

The moderate Hogan ally - Franchot.
The progressive upstart - John King.
The DNC insider, establishment candidate - Perez.
The pro-business black guy - Wes Moore.
The young rando - Jain.
The PG County mainstreamer - Baker.

Aside from the fact that there aren't any women as far as I know, it does seem like the Democrats evenly run the gamut in terms of ideology, race, constituency, and geography. Any one of them would be better than a Republican.

I do understand that the state of Maryland is not aligned ideologically with Takoma Park, Silver Spring, or Montgomery County. I support Marc Elrich for County Executive, but I could imagine being okay with someone like David Blair for governor. I could get behind a pro-business, run of the mill generic Democrat running statewide, and leave the offbeat lefty hippies for the local elections.[/quote]
