[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching ads where Hogan's surrogates say he supports Roe. Has Hogan ever publicly stated that? I guess they're hoping no one remembers his prior acts, but I definitely remember[/quote] Hogan will lose because of abortion…and that’s a dumb reason for a very popular former governor to lose. If he wants to win, he needs to do a commercial saying he’s evolved on his stance on a woman’s right to choose and will fight for it. Then he should remind everyone of his otherwise moderate record. If he just sticks with his current approach he will lose. [/quote] No one will believe him and they shouldn’t. These R’a are the dog that caught the car with Dobbs— thought they could suck up to anti-choice voters without any negative consequences for women’s lives or their own careers. [/quote] While I agree most republicans can’t be trusted, Hogan demonstrated that he is a rationale leader…mostly. As a very liberal Democrat with a SJW day job, I was pleasantly surprised to see him engage in criminal justice reform and support commonsense lefty policies that most republicans wouldn’t have entertained. My biggest beef with Hogan is his completely irrational stereotype of MoCo still being a white, affluent county that doesn’t need state support. I mean, get real! I think if he spent the next 6 weeks using a stump speech leading with his changed stance on abortion followed by his popular record as our governor, he just might win. If he doesn’t shift his talking points, he will lose. ALSOBROOKS isn’t perfect. And she’s untested. It’s doubtful she will get much done in Washington whereas Hogan is equipped to be a consensus builder focused on bipartisanship. I’d consider voting for him if he publicly stated he is now pro-choice and explain why…and commit to fighting to protect choice. [/quote] I agree with all of this but it’s still pointless in the end. He will vote the party line, including SC justice appointments. Shame that’s where we are, but nope.[/quote] Why do you think he would vote the party line? Are you familiar with his bipartisan credentials, including the org he co-created with Joe Lieberman? Hogan is a favorite guest on CNN where they praise his businesslike, moderate approach to leadership. I’m a lifelong Marylander and I’m old enough to remember tons of Dems voting for Connie Morella who was lauded as a moderate, enjoyed broad support, and then eventually voted the party line. Once it became clear she had shifted right and was beholden to the R’s, she lost her seat. I’m sure Hogan is smart enough to realize he needs to stick to the middle if he wants to win…and keep his seat. [/quote] What’s your evidence backing up your Connie statements? She voted against the Clinton impeachment, by the way. She lost to CVH because the Dems redistricted after the census. Signed, someone who knew them both very well[/quote] She lost because of the rise of the Gingrich Congress. Despite her seniority she never got any important committee assignments and had no influence within the Republican caucus. People liked her personally but there was no point. [/quote]
