    I have read a few articles about Larry Hogan for Governor and wanted to see if there is any New Current position on his stance on CCW and other problems for the citizens of Maryland. Any New information to share would be Great !

    The short and sweet of it.

    Hogan is running a campaign focusing on where Brown is weak, the economy and taxes. He hasn't said much about guns, abortion, gays, or any other traditional Republican social issues.

    Will it work? Election is less than 60 days away.

    Hogan and Brown are within the margin of error of each other on the polls. So the election is no longer a simple formality for Brown.

    One thing that is interesting, even the Baltimore Sun, the bastion of liberalism, has had articles and opinions in it talking about how Brown is being forced to attack a fictional version of Hogan (calling him out for issues like guns and abortion) despite Hogan has made no statements on the issues.

    Excellent summary.

    What poll has it in the margin of error outside the poll conducted by the MD Republican party?

    A 14+ point lead by Brown is not within the margin of error, it's a runaway.

    The Hogan campaign is optimistic. They know they will lose the usual 101% Democratic areas.

    The key is turnout. If all the Republicans show up in a place like Anne Arundel County, Hogan will be in.

    The key is turnout. The wife is making phone calls this morning to help that effort.

    Exactly right. Turnout will be the key.

    correct, in that AA Co is critical...

    But why are we once again running two threads?

    google is your friend, I am not.
    Again, for the record, the only poll suggesting competiveness is a GOP poll.

    Brown's own internal polls showed only a 6-point lead in mid-august.

    http://centermaryland.org/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=1005&Itemid=286

    The problem with polls is that they guess who likely voters are. If those are wrong, the poll is wrong. Maryland is the third hardest state to poll, with the average pollster-created error of 3%.

    Here is the real question: Who is likely to vote, and how can we ensure people actually turn out to vote. And, keep in mind, in 2012, almost 1 million voters turned out for Romney. O'Malley won in 2010, he garnered just a shade over 1 million. How is that possible? in off-years, Democratic turnout is off 25-30%.

    It can be done, has been done, and the question is how to get it done again.

    Thank you for sharing the link. It is worth reading the article because it makes it explicit that this poll was not conducted on behalf of either candidate and is not an internal poll. If it is a non partisan poll, why not release it? Hogan would have appreciated the fact that it demonstrates Brown's weakness. Though the fact that Hogan consistently hovers at 40% is deeply troubling.

    I want Hogan to win. I also want people to be realistic. It isn't impossible and Ehrlich did it in 2002. However, KKT was an incredibly poor candidate. Brown has shades of KKT, but the demographics of the state have shifted further in the favor of Democrats. An easy example is the tremendous growth in Frederick county driven by DC suburb expansion.

    Do you really want to know the important part about these polls?



    There hasn't been one (released) in over a month. If Brown truly were ahead, you would see the polling out there in the Sun.
