No one from PG County can win a statewide race and to be honest, I would consider moving back to DC if PG County politicians took over the governorship and state agencies.

Ehrlich and Hogan aren't amazing politicians but even I (die hard liberal) had a hard time pulling the lever for Katherine Kennedy Townsend ("I have Kennedy in my name") or Anthony Brown or Ben Jealous.

Seems like I should be prepared for another candidate from the Democratic establishment who has spent their life in government and has all the inspiration of a dish towel. My wife will join a million other Democrats who vote for the Republican businessman who will be our next governor.

This is absolutely an astute analysis of the problem with Maryland Democrats. The old boys club/machine works for low info down ballot races but not the ones that matter.

He'd be a good choice.

Hogan is proving himself to be an asshole Republican and Maryland is sick of Republicans.


This life long Democrat would vote for Hogan again. Will see who the candidates are next time. Radical moderate here.

This Democrat voted for Hogan twice, and would do so again if he were able to run. The problems with most of the Democrats in Maryland is that they are out of touch reality.


I don't know if most are. There are pockets of liberals who think everyone thinks like them. But a lot of Democrats just don't like the extreme right and feel more comfortable with the extreme left. How do we get a more moderate Democrat through the primary?


This democrat is done with the liberal politicians of montgomery county. Once Elrich stops providing protection for students by removing SROs, we are out.

I agree that I know a lot of democrats who range from slightly left of center to way left and they are have a strong dislike of Franchot.

Of course they all voted for him over the Republican running so citing his general election margins is pretty meaningless in a discussion about whether Dems like him


I’m a Dem who hates Franchot. I cast a protest vote for the Republican.
