[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any word on his position on police reform?  I don't see any mention of that.  And since he's a former prosecutor, it would be interesting to see if his views have evolved at all.[/quote]

This issue will be big.

I predict the Dem who wins the primary will have a progressive stance and the Republican will get the police union support while using squishy language on reform.

Note: we have a Republican Governor who easily defeated a Dem candidate the last two times. I’m not so sure MD is as progressive as we think we are. [/quote]

You must have slept through the last gubernatorial election where the progressive democrat got slaughtered in the general. Perez has no shot.[/quote]
The last two Dem candidates were just awful.

There was the "Obama" prototype moderate, Ivy educated candidate who is just a major dud of a person and a lazy candidate, but had a lot of establishment/machine support due to time in Annapolis.

Then there was the activist "progressive" candidate who was full of ideals but had no prior experience in elected office and offered no tangible or practical solutions to improve ordinary peoples lives.

Tom Perez is the perfect synthesis of these two people. He has nothing to offer people in Howard or Frederick County. He has nothing to offer people in Baltimore. And he has nothing to offer people on the Eastern Shore.

He probably doesn't even know what Maryland's key industries are (crabs, chickens, truck assembly, asset management/real estate investment) or could name the Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state.[/quote]
