[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the closest to Hogan?  I'm looking for a moderate! [/quote]

Kelly Schulz will literally be an extension of Larry Hogan, and has my vote over the clown car of a democratic field. [/quote]

Her major ding is that she’s a republican. Republicans like Larry Hogan don’t come by often. [/quote]

She is not at all like Hogan.  Hogan only won lasr time due to the untimely death of the Dem candidate. We aren't voting in Republicans again. [/quote]
Kamenetz wasn’t favored to win the primary and if he did he would have lost, just like Ben Jealous. Keeping in mind that this was for Hogan’s second term.

For Hogan’s first term, he easily beat Anthony Brown who deserved to lose because he’s a terrible politician who has done nothing in his career to this point and has ascended state politics due to party machine backing. His main claim to fame at the time was bungling the state health care exchange, which was the only responsibility he’d been given as Lt Governor to O’Malley. Democrats might have had a chance to stop Hogan at the outset with Gansler. But the machine vote turned out for Brown. A similar thing happened with Erlich and Kennedy-Townsend, so it’s surprising that state Democrats refuse to learn their lesson. Erlich ended up being a terrible governor and lost to O’Malley and Hogan learned that lesson. [/quote]

I don’t know why it’s so hard for MD democrats to come up with and rally around a good candidate for governor. Too many choices maybe?  I guess I’ll vote for franchot or baker, whichever one seems to be more likely to win the general election, but geez.[/quote]
