[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been threads about it but this one can apply to both Ds and Rs.

The political establishment is lining up behind Alsobrooks, but Trone has all the money. Both are politically moderate Democrats.

I personally think Maryland could do better. [b]I’m not far left[/b] by any means, but since [b]national politics has been driven so far to the right[/b], I’d rather see blue states like Maryland counterbalance that with someone more left-leaning. I wish Raskin would run.

I’m leaning towards Angela admittedly for identity politics reasons. When all other things are equal (in this case, equally mid) I’ll vote for the women of color.

This all being said, what are the chances for the R candidates? The only one I know is Robin Ficker. He never ceases to entertain, I look forward to his presidential campaign kickoff in 2028. But what about the serious Republican candidates? Since Larry Hogan isn’t running, does anyone other than a clone named Harry Logan have a chance? Could Rs peel off enough young Black men to flip Maryland?[/quote]

If you think national politics “have bee driven so far to the right”, then you are [i]definitely[/i] far left. Far, farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr left. That’s why it seems like they’re to the right. Because you’re practically hanging off the left side of the curve by the fingernails of your right hand.

Dems control the WH and executive branch (not too mention most career Fed and SES types also being Dems) and the Senate, and stand poised to retake the House next year when Biden or some other Dem will almost certainly be (re)elected.

Does that sound like a country that “has been driven far to the right”? :roll:

These talking points were ill thought out when AB sent them out in August  [/quote]
