But in any event, I will tell everyone why a PG county politician cannot win the Governorship: it's because they have nothing to offer any other part of the state. There is no record of solutions for tackling crime or poverty. No record of supporting rural areas, aside from letting developers convert them to sub-developments. No record of promoting jobs or economic development. And no record of supporting and improving educational outcomes in public schools. On every key issue that is important to voters across this state, PG county not only fails but doesn't even have solutions that appear to be working and just need more time. I don't care if the politician is black or white, failure doesn't deserve to be rewarded with promotion.

-Democrat who will definitely consider voting for Hogan, as long as he continues to stay distant from Donald Trump

PG candidates are tainted, not because of race but because of ethics. The rest of the state sees PG as a corrupt, pay to play circus, a throwback to an earlier era-- which is quite an indictment given Maryland's past history with Agnew, Mandel, etc.

I don't remember hearing that about our most recent governor from Prince George's County, Parris Glendening.
Well, perhaps he did a good job at dissociating himself from the corrupt PG machine?
I don't remember "the corrupt PG machine" being an issue in either election. Do you?
Alternative explanation: the second-to-top PP is correct, and "candidate from Baltimore or PG County" means "a black candidate".
