    Probable, possible?

    Probable-possible, my black hen,
    She lays eggs in the Relative When.
    She doesn't lay eggs in the Positive Now,
    Because she's unable to postulate how.

    There are more than two candidates running for the office, so there are more than two possible outcomes. Facts are stubborn things.

    Yes... facts ARE stubborn things.

    More than two candidates is not the fact that matters.

    Only two of the candidates have sufficient support to be elected. All others are lacking support so badly that they were “also rans” before the race ever started. Therefore... the only two candidates with any chance in hades of winning... still remain Hogan or Jealous.

    Any vote not placed for one is a vote the other is not forced to answer.

    Don’t just vote...

    Make your vote count.

    Libertarian/IWW voters, here's what you're going to help to be voted in:

    Jealous says calls to lobbyist convicted of fraud an 'error'
    https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/jealous-says-calls-to-lobbyist-convicted-of-fraud-an-error
    Ben Jealous says it was an "error" when he requested a meeting about support for his campaign for governor with a Maryland lobbyist who was convicted of mail fraud 18 years ago.

    Jealous, a Democrat, was asked about several calls he made to lobbyist Gerry Evans, as Jealous rolled out an ethics reform plan Wednesday...

    Wise choice, gang. :sad20:

    How can any third party win? Those alleged facts are missing... Please explain how that happens? I would love to vote for a 2A libertarian... :D

    "se facts... NOT feelings," indeed. :rolleyes:

    Yes FACTS...

    Since you seem to believe that a third party candidate has any chance of winning THIS election for Governor of Maryland...

    Please... show us your factual reasoning behind that belief.

    Polls, Records, Voter numbers... ANYTHING that backs up the fantasy that any candidate other than Hogan or Jealous will be elected as Governor of Maryland in the 2018 Election.

    The FACT is that NO ONE ELSE but those two have a chance in hades of winning this election.

    Want to keep ROLLING EYEs?

    Go ahead... :shrug:

    I don't care. Because you can NOT show me a person in this race who will beat out EITHER of those two candidates. That person simply does not exist.

    Reality is sometimes difficult to deal with... but it won't change itself to appease feelings.

    As Ron Smith said for years " I voted my conscience! "

    That is what is important.
    My conscience tells me that...

    What is "important" is electing folks who serve OUR interests the best as we can at the time with what is there. If we do not move the pendulum back to the right... it continues LEFT... That screws us ALL.

    What good will a mans conscience do him AFTER he allows the enemy to take over his country because he failed to block that enemy from gaining power?

    The Socialists are in full on assault and gaining ground in far too many elections in our Republic. Allow their advances at peril to ALL of us.

    Blah, blah. Seriously.

    You bump this thread wanting to talk about facts, but only facts that you feel are pertinent to the discussion.

    If you're in line at your polling place and get a whiff consisting of Vicks Vapor Rub, Bengay, and some God awful perfume, sorry, it's me and I could only hold my nose for a short time.

    I vote not out of fear of the other guy, but for the candidate that best reflects my values and belief in what America stands for.

    On that basis, I was able to rule out Ben Jealous immediately. It took more analysis and a 4 year record, but unfortunately I’ve also had to elimimate Larry Hogan as well. He is a politician that has very little respect for the freedoms and liberties that embody what America is.

    He also has very little reluctance to interject the power and control of the administrative state upon Maryland citizens. Simply stated, he is a big government progressive of the worst kind—one who fraudulently portrays himself as a small government, liberty-minded conservative to garner votes, while governing as a big government statist.

    I can’t in good conscience vote for someone such as this, no matter the letter behind their name.

    I got a feeling there will be quite a bit of "cover scent" being deployed on election day.

    You haven’t presented any yet.

    Answer the question.

    Who, other than Hogan or Jealous, has ANY chance of winning the 2018 Maryland Governors race?

    I can’t in good conscience vote for someone such as this, no matter the letter behind their name.

    My vote will be placed to STOP the Socialist.

    And no votes placed for anyone who can’t beat him will ever work against him.

    In WWII... the USA allied with Soviet Russia to stop the NAZI threat. Many US Soldiers had to hold their noses to fight with our common enemy the communists. But in the end the NAZIs were defeated.

    There are times when one uses what they are forced to use to defeat a threat to their life and or way of life.

    For that reason... I’ll do what I must, with respect to my vote, to keep the Socialist from being elected in the State where I live.

    The question matters not, as you have demonstrated in spite of your call for facts over feelings, that only certain facts matter to you.

    Stop moving the goal posts and admit that you're on less than stable ground from the jump. Or don't. Either way, my point stands clear.
