With Maryland's presidential primary only nine months off, Howard County Democrats are organizing at basic levels, contacting newly registered Democrats, building their base of core neighborhood organizers and volunteers, secure in knowing they have President Barack Obama as their certain candidate.
But county Republicans say that while Democrats might be sure of whom they are supporting, it's the GOP that has the excitement for 2012, and the interest sparked by the wide range of early candidates will trump that organizing edge when the final choice is made.
"It's that time again! Volunteers needed!" reads the email that periodically comes from Michael McPherson, chairman of the Howard County Democratic Party. Early voting begins in March, he reminds people, though the primary election is April 3.
