Obama Visits Maryland; Democrat Drops 9 Points?

Things appear to be tightening in Maryland, where a poll leaked to The Daily Caller shows the gubernatorial race is “extremely close — only 2 points, 46 to 44, separate Democratic Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown and Republican small businessman Larry Hogan.”

One should always be cognizant of outliers — and it’s worth noting that this survey was commissioned by theMaryland Republican Party. It’s also true that polls conducted by Gonzales this cycle have tended to show the race tighter than others — but as the Washington Post noted, Gonzales “does not have a partisan track record.”

With those caveats out of the way, let’s assume for a minute this survey isaccurate. This would represent a nine point swing from a week ago, when, according to the RealClearPolitics poll average, Hogan was down by 11 points.

How could this be possible? I mean, what has happened in the last week? For one thing, President Obama — not welcome on the trail in red states — campaigned for Brown in Maryland, where crowds began streaming out during his speech, leaving empty bleachers behind.

The Dems know the race is very close, thus the rigging of the voting machines to give Brown the Clown a win.

End of story.

No decent person would ever welcome Obama into their space.
He is as dishonest as the day is long and is a pathological liar.
That Brown allowed such a degenerate into his space shows Brown has some severe very disturbing character flaws.
Anyone who will vote for Brown shares these vile character flaws too.

Don't worry-they'll more than make up for it at the electronic ballot boxes.
