[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a lifelong democrat, and voted for Larry Hogan twice for Governor.  And there is absolutely no way I will vote for him for Senate.  Not because I don't like him, o0r think he would do a bad job, but because if he wins, it gives increased power to Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, and the rest of the far right brigade of the Senate.  My vote will not be used to support a potential GOP Senate Majority, and that is far, far more important than my personal feelings about an individual candidate.

While I generally agree with this, maybe there is a scenario where it could be helpful. If MD isn't the state that pushes the senate in the R column would it be helpful to have some moderate Rs filling the role that Sinema and Manchin play now for the Ds. It could give Hogan, and maybe Susan Collins, more power against the MAGA types to force more rational decisions? Or it could allow the Rs to roll over everything. In other words if the Senate is going to be R anyway, does it help to have Hogan in there?[/quote]
