And if we could turn back the clock to the political atmosphere 10 or 20 years, he would probably win. Today, I don't see Maryland sending a Republican to the Senate.

Trone has the money to be competitive.

People on twitter are saying Raskin, but I just dont see it.

I could see Rawlings or Alsobrooks

Autocorrect. I typed Raskin.

Shelly Hettleman should run. She would be perfect.

Grateful to Cardin for his years of service. Great job. He deserves to retire.

I completely forgot about that. And he beat crazy Dan Cox in the general!


Raskin did, yes.

When Van Hollen ran for the then-open seat he only got one serious primary challenger - Donna Edwards.

I think Jawando would have to alter himself quite a bit to run for a statewide position. Good luck with that.

Right.

So this isnt an uphill battle, its a super long shot.

So the question then is whats in it for him? Longterm he might even piss off the party for getting in this.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't get it.
