[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Anne Arundel neighborhood is full of people who vote mixed tickets, hate Trump, liked Hogan. Don’t forget there’s a lot more to MD than MoCo…[/quote]

Please try to get through to them that we need to vote Blue at all levels of government,[b] to protect girls and women,[/b] and to prevent the country being awash in guns. Pick the most centrist Democrat if you want.

Who is going to look out for our kids?  Which of the Democrats will admit that closing schools for over a year was a bad idea?  Which of the Democrats will stand up against any type of vaccine mandates for kids (and adults)?

The Democrats let our kids down during Covid.  I need to see some acknowledgment of that failure.  [/quote]

You'd vote for Dan Cox because some Democrat closed schools? Yikes, you sound very intelligent :)[/quote]

DP who will not vote for Cox but too many democrats still have their head in the sand about how closing schools will cost them.  People tend to vote on the issues that have affected them the most.

And yeah, I’m on a neighborhood progressive listserv where folks are still gunning for the most progressive candidate and squabbling over whether Perez or King would be better.  They are horrified about Franchot (and Goldberg for county council) and have questions about Moore’s bonafides.  I do t have a lot of confidence about winning in November.[/quote]

Franchot sizes up quite well against Schulz[/quote]
I think Moore does just fine too without the Franchot baggage. The rest of the group would lose to Schulz [b]and a few, like King, could even lose to Cox.[/b] [/quote]

No...absolutely not.

There's only one candidate, a literal socialist (Jerome Segal, polling at less than 1%) and even then, I'm not so sure.

You underestimate just how unlikable Trump republicans are in MD to the overall electorate. Dan Cox is a Trump backed official that has no appeal outside of the Eastern Shore, Western MD and parts of Southern MD. He would perform historically awful in, PG, Baltimore County, the City, Charles, Howard, AA and MoCo. Practically any Democrat would beat him in an election, which is why Dems are itching to run against him. He has shown no inclination to moderate his Trumpist views like say a Youngkin in VA.

He's the MD equivalent of Amanda Chase and would all but ensure a Democrat victory in November if he were nominated.[/quote]
