Larry Hogan "supports" the second amendment...

[jpo183]

Well, if Brown wins you better head for shore.

You're not answering my question. Do you think Hogan can right the ship?

 

[Straightshooter]

No, but I'd rather be on a floundering ship with plugs in it hull rather than on one with holes in the hull and the captain bailing more water in. Keep your Speedos handy in Nov

OK so do you think the ship is destined to sink? If so why not just get it over with so the people that keep electing these aholes figure it out.

 

[Straightshooter]

Be cause with proper leadership the ship just might make it to dry dock.

because it's going to be a very long slow painful death spiral to the bottom

 

[MDFF2008]

Would you rather be on a ship with people trying to bail out or bailing in?

I like this mindset.

Have you seen what the end is? It's Detroit on a larger scale. There isn't a magic reset button that will turn Maryland into a red state with a Texas like economy.

Detroit is at rock bottom, and there is no reset, Detroit has not elected hardcore conservatives or anything like that.

Ever seen those massive tanker or container ships at the harbor? Like Maryland, they move really slow (15 knots) but take 5 miles to stop at full reverse and maybe 1/2 mile to turn.

But, **** it. Why steer the ship.

 

[jpo183]

You would have made the same argument for erlich. I hear what you're saying but all we are doing is delaying the inevitable. Just like the overall nation with its debt, it has to get really bad before it can get better. I rather it sooner than later.

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

Don't sell Hogan short; he's all in.

Sights focused on Brown, now.

X9s_CQx4ylU

That smirk on Browns face makes want to scream. Total POS!!!

Pretty sure that's Lollar.

Sure hope Hogan is as passionate about eliminating Brown as he was about his primary opponents.

Hogan is campaigning hard,follow Change Maryland on Facebook and it seems like he travels to several places around the state every day,he also continues to do radio shows and has repeatedly challenged Brown to debates which Brown will not accept.
Hogan is running a smart campaign, sticking to his message, not giving Marylands liberal press a whole lot they can savage him on. The press is just waiting for something to latch on to, in Hogans ad calling Brown the most incompetent man in MD, did you notice the press ignored all the facts in the ad and tried to get Hogan on the Brown muscle flexing, some obscure symbol I know nothing about.
In the last election I don't think Ehrlich wanted to run, seemed to be a half hearted effort. Hogan is putting in real effort to change this state and I hope he succeeds.

 

[Mr H]

Let me ask you something H. Do you honestly believe that Hogan can right the ship? Or is he just a delay for the inevitable?

With the options available, he is (at the very least) a necessary next step.

None of this is going to be fixed with a single election, but we have to start somewhere.

You bring up a good point.

I did say the same about Ehrlich.

There were two main issues, though...

#1... Ehrlich underestimated the ability of the D machine to control the GA, the message, and the public.

#2... He also discovered, too late, the overwhelming apathy in the state (especially as combined with the "Uncle Sugar" mentality in the state's core), and how it became too hard to rouse the public to combat #1

Thus, the malaise we see today among Conservatives

Won't there be a formal gubernatorial debate scheduled sometime (maybe in Sept/Oct)?

Sounds like a lot of popcorn will be sold out for that one.

I've just got to ask. Did you vote in the primary and if so then who did you select?

There is no bottom... the death spiral is the sh*t in the toilet spiraling down the drain. That is a ride I don't want to take as the mismanagement of this state sucks us all down along with the idiots who keep voting for them.

 

[Storm40]

Once again, stuck voting against a candidate. I would love to actually vote FOR someone at some point. There is no doubt hogan is getting my vote, but I wish I could get excited about the prospect.

What's so lame about him to bring about this mindset? He's doing his thing in a liberal-controlled state and hanging in there.

There won't be any crash. It will just stay the same wonderful shade of shitty.

The downfall of America won't be Billary, Brown, or any Democrat. The downfall will be people sitting in a bunker with a defeatist attitude not taking any risks because they are afraid to try things and fail. The loss of the risk-taking entrepreneurial spirit is what will bring America down. If Hogan loses I am not going to regret the effort (or the money). I am going to pick up and try again.

 

[jpo183]

I voted for Ron George.

At least you weren't sitting on your deck chair listening to the music.
