US Senate Elections 2016 - Maryland

[Mr H]

FNC reporting this morning that van Hollowhead may be on the rocks and Edweirds is 'surging' in the polls...

 

[Mr H]

Szeliga on WBAL this morning mentioned that Edwards and van Hollen have identical records, but seemed to suggest that he would be THE worst option because he just doesn't listen to anyone.

 

[DC-W]

Should have mentioned his Bloomberg Crony status.

I might add he is for sure Pro 2 Amendment.

Edit: Dave and talked about a state wide 287 g program.

how much of a chance does everyone else think Kathy has?

Voted yesterday around 3:45pm at the Carroll County Senior Center.

Not ONE other person was there to vote and they said turn out has been very low. Maybe everyone is saving it up for Election Day.

Zero. That's why I'm a little concerned about the current DINO strategy of "vote for Edwards" around here. I'd prefer Kathy over Van Hollen or Edwards, but I just don't think she can beat either of them.

I give Szeliga the same chance as Hogan! And for the record, back in Feb of 2014 before the primary I gave about a Hogan a 45% of winning, because people were sick of O'Maos tax and tax and tax policies. I think if Szeliga follows the Hogan strategy statewide, and ties the Dems to wasteful policies that have bankrupted Baltimore and nearly bankrupted the state, she has a decent (>=45%) chance of winning. My advice, as with Hogan, would be to play up pocketbook issues, avoid the culture wars. Brownstain ran these guns-in-schoolyards ads that had not impact (or a negative one). Let Edwards or Van Hell do the same.

The Mrs. and I voted yesterday in Carroll County. Fingers crossed for a good and strong outcome.

 

[Mr H]

In the primary, she's doing extremely well in polling.

In the general, folks need to hit the bricks hard for her and, whichever D is nominated pound the snot out of their social media

 

[Jim12]

Since it's a presidential year, the turnout in the general will also be important. Will the R's end up with someone who will rally an extraordinary turnout of motivated voters with coattails against a ho-hum D showing, or self-destruct?

 

[rockstarr]

one can only hope Kathy wins and uses larry Hogan's model to do so

 

[Mr H]

A couple of us have mentioned that, and she has said so much!

 

[GetzzBrah]

Any guides to show 2A supporters for the Harford County primary elections? Going to vote in an hour and would like to see those candidates first

 

[danb]

Early primary turnout is about 35% higher than 2014, through day 5 - and 2014 was not even a presidential year. We are only through day 5 and we have already doubled the early turnout in 2012. We will probably see around 180k early votes. Through day 5, 132k total early votes. 2014 the 8-day total was 140k

Get out and vote!!

 

[DC-W]

Early Voting in Baltimore City is extremely popular this go around. Probably does not bode well for Sanders...

Voted in Baltimore County yesterday. Put my Dino status to good use. Using a pen and paper was a welcome change.

 

[danb]

Baltimore City: 15,033 DEM votes through Day 5, 653 REP votes.

Not bad considering about 46k voted in the general mayoral race in 2011, not bad at all.

653 Republicans is pretty surprising for Baltimore City. That is 652 Republicans more than I thought still lived there.

 

[danb]

Day 6 turnout > Day 5 turnout. We are now at 167k early votes. Another 152 republicans in Baltimore City came out of the woodwork!

When I used to live in Pigtown, the wife and I strolled down to our local polling place. This was in the age before electronic records, so the voter registration info was kept on a pile of cards in a cardboard box. The election worker could not find my info in a box stuffed with hundreds of records.

I had almost given up on my hopes of voting when one of the the workers asked, "Are you a Republican?" I said, "Yes." She poked around and found a smaller box with about six cards in it. I got to vote that day!

 

[Guderian]

So who do we vote for for U.S. Senator if we are participating in operation DINO?

Also, I'm in District 2 so there is no other candidate for congress other than the incumbent.

Finally, for President, I assume we vote for Sanders as he will be easier to defeat in general election?
