[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of the general electorate would rather stomach a Progressive over a Trump Republican, this has been captured in polling.

Maryland is NOT Virginia[/quote]
Maryland is not Virginia, but Montgomery County is not Maryland. Voters across the state prefer candidates they know and politicians with Maryland roots. You might be able to move to Montgomery County to be in a DC suburb and run and win to get on the council due to affiliation with a DC job and national politics, however this doesn’t work in the rest of the state. As a result, even Dan Cox would almost certainly win over King.

Maryland voters for Governor also have traditionally rejected the political hack, party machine candidates, which is Perez. He is similar in the same mound as a Kennedy Townsend or Brown. Dud politicians with strong party support. Maryland general election voters have proven that they just don’t like these candidates that seem like they are being thrust on them.

People forget Ehrlich, but he was a Dan Cox style Trump Republican before Trump and Maryland voters had no problem electing him over Kennedy Townsend.

So both King and Perez would almost certainly result in a D loss regardless of who is running on the R side. I think Moore is a bit tricky, because he has all these negatives but he’s viewed as being strongly pro-business. So I think he will prevail over Cox because he will get enough of the Frederick, Howard and Baltimore County votes. However, he will have a tough time with Schulz.

[b]The reality is that this is going to be a low turnout election. Contrary to the narrative, Democratic voters will not be energized by abortion but demoralized. Republican voters will be energized by the court and the “Biden economy”, which is going to be a serious drag.[/b][/quote]

This is how I know you have no idea what you're talking about -- all the polling data shows that dems are energized and enraged, not demoralized.  [/quote]

My election judge friends tell me it’s republicans showing up at the early voting sites, so far. But that maybe Dems are voting  by mail. [/quote]
