    Look, there is no denying that Larry Hogan has disappointed Second Amendment supporters big time. But, there is also an important lesson that can be taken from Maryland: It’s not enough to have the governor’s mansion. Here’s the dirty little secret: Down-ballot races matter. The outcomes of state legislative races can strengthen or weaken a governor’s hand. If the votes were there to uphold a veto, Hogan may well have been able to stand up, rather than decide to exercise the better part of valor.

    Hogan's hand is limp-wristed, and his back is spineless. I don't want to vote for him. I have not decided if I will or will not.

    Sadly, be not holding your nose and voting for Lawn Chair Larry who folds at most of the left's demands, you are assuring destruction with Ben Jealous.

    Yeah, the whole "a vote for someone else not Hogan is a vote for Jealous" does seem to be operable here.

    However, I have a big problem with Hogan. My view of him changed dramatically this year after he photo-op'd with the "common sense gun safety" crowd. :mad54: How many more such photo-ops like that will he have in store for us?

    I am conflicted. I may pinch my nose and pull the lever for Hogan, but the stench is too much right now.

    I'll vote for Hogan. I don't want to, but I will. He's no friend to Maryland gun owners, but neither is he even remotely the socialist and dangerous POS that Jealous is.

    This. Think about how stupid Bernie voters feel in swing states after they refused to hold their nose and vote Clinton.

    I get you for sure. I actually talked to him face to face in the parking lot of Costco, he was sitting in his bus when he first began is run for gov. I SPECIALLY asked him how he would deal with the gun grabbing left and the slow but steady erosion of our rights in Maryland. He bluntly said the governor has veto power and he would not be afraid to use it, but we should try to find a way to work together first. Ha the laughs on me. :mad54: Now i have to vote for him again. :sad20:

    Ohh looky we have a Hogan thread , Okay since i am already here i might as well not waste a click .

    Hogan is a giant a-hole but the a-hole in him is small compared to that Jell-O guy .

    Folks there is no other choice , you can write in Santa , the Elfs , or maybe Dopey but all you are doing is pretending and if you are pretending you might as well go on a porn site and pretend there first .

    Many of the votes these last years have been a case of pick the lessor of two evils. I don't see that changing any time soon sadly.

    God, back to this. Well don't vote for him. If you like the left policies knock yourself out. More control is a good thing.

    Higher taxes, more left crap like allowing off road vehicles and reckless driving by motorcycle riders like yesterday is okay. Hell, we can turn this state red overnight if we wanted to, because it turned blue overnight. They haven't done everything in their power to make us irrelevant. Hell there is no point to PP, because why should we try and change anything. Heck we can all just get up and move any time we want.

    Yeah, we need more of Frosh, Jealous and his kind. Because we don't need to try anything reasonable, let's just be sheep.

    I will vote for Hogan, reluctantly. It took me a while to come to that decision.

    For anyone who may be interested, I would recommend listening to Dan Bonginos show from Friday. He talks about the issue of voting for rinos even though we are not happy with what they are doing.

    Not happy with Hogan, but to me, willingly allowing Jealous to win by being spiteful is far worse for this state. While I’m not happy with his tepid 2A stance, I’m can’t be a single issue voter.

    Under its bylaws, MSI is non-partisan so we don't endorse anyone. But as someone who has spend a truly inordinate amount of time in Annapolis, all I can say is please don't make my job harder. It is quite hard enough as it is. Whatever else you do, PLEASE VOTE. AND THAT MEANS VOTE IN ALL THE CONTESTS.
