Breaking: Hogan ahead

[Brooklyn]

I made a comment a couple weeks back, where I noticed Brownstain's internal polling was no longer being made public.

They saw this coming, which is why we had a case of Yellow Fever ("Vote for the Democrats") sweep the center of the state.

Very astute..

Also the late breaking endorsements.... hedgeing bets in case they want access to the administration..

Yes.

It's how the game is played here.

I just keep hoping that the "I want it now" crowd can become aware enough to see it, someday.

Here's FiveThirtyEight's excuse:

...

The final surveys from The Baltimore Sun and Washington Post, taken between Oct. 2 and Oct. 8, had Brown ahead by an average of 8 percentage points.

The only late polls came from the Maryland Republican Party or from Hogan’s campaign. FiveThirtyEight has a policy not to use partisan-sponsored polls because they historically have shown a bias toward the party or campaign that commissions them. In many cases, partisan sponsors quash surveys that look unfavorable to their candidate. We never even hear about those.

If they don't use partisan-sponsored polls, then why did they use polls produced by the Democrat Party Balto Sun and the D.C. Post?

That is why we post. This is the time to post mortum in public.. and we all learn from each other. Lessons we will use to build a stronger smarter team.

Note this about the author...

"Chrysovalantis P. Kefalas
Attorney; former deputy speechwriter to Attorney General Eric Holder"

also worked in the Ehrlich administration. This is the kind of bipartisanship that the Democrats just can't tolerate in MD.

He (Mr. Kefalas) is trolling twitter, I just got a request he wants to follow me.

And here I thought I was a boring guy

huh. well, you never know. Maybe he'll learn something. People do change their mind you know. And late stage cancer does go into remission occasionally. (why did my mind associate Holder with late stage cancer there?)
