U.S. President Barack Obama didn’t make many campaign stops in 2014, but he did travel to Maryland two weeks ago on behalf of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown.
What happened? The crowd bailed on him.
Despite this indignity, no one actually thought Brown would lose his gubernatorial race against “Republican” Larry Hogan. In fact the poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight.com pegged Brown’s chances of victory at 94 percent on election day – given that he enjoyed an estimated 9.8 percent lead in the polls.
Yeah … about that.
Brown lost to Hogan. Not by a whisker, either. With nearly 90 percent of precincts reporting, Hogan enjoyed a six-point edge over Brown.
Wow

Mochelle campaigning in Baltimore city on election day didn't turn out many voters either. Everyone Hillary supported lost as well. The message is loud and clear, even the Dems are sick of this bunch of liberal losers.
ReplyDeleteEarly voting was a blessing to Republicans. It let us know that brown was winning and that we needed to show up in forces.
ReplyDeleteJust remember something people , Hogan may have won the battle , but the war begins now.
ReplyDeleteThe war is , the state senate , mostly democrat , a tough nut to crack either way.
Good luck on his venture!
