[quote=Anonymous]Okay, out of curiosity, are any of you who say you are voting for Jealous from anywhere other than Montgomery County?

Hogan still has a 70+% approval rating across the state, well over 80% outside of Montgomery County.  The polls from as recent as last week state that those who say that they would vote for Jealous over Hogan are still under 20% (last I saw, it was around 16%) whereas those who say they would vote for Hogan over Jealous are over 40%.  That's a large discrepancy to overcome.  While I know this polling was done when there were other Democratic candidates and that some will move to Jealous from other Democratic candidates, prior to the primaries, Hogan still had a big lead over ALL Democratic candidates combined (totaled about 36% combined).  Additionally, there are some who supported other Democratic candidates, like Baker, who will be supporting Hogan rather than Jealous.

It is up to Jealous to rally a lot of the undecided and Independents to his flag, but I think he's going to have a hard time doing that.  I think it is a very hard uphill battle for Jealous.[/quote]
