Maryland Dem Primary: Baker, Jealous, or Kamenetz?

[Jeppe]

NOTA.

In a state like Maryland, I feel like Maya Rockeymoore Cummings has the inside track because of who her husband is.

I feel like Cummings is Baker’s biggest threat, because she could draw away Baltimore’s black voters towards her in the primary.

I don’t think Jealous would even place in the top 3. He doesn’t have a strong base. There are 4 main voting bases in Maryland, up-scale white DC suburbs, heavily black Prince George, heavily black Baltimore city, and suburban whites living around Baltimore.

Baker will do best amongst Prince George Co voters, Cummings amongst Baltimore City voters, Kamanetz amongst Baltimore County voters, and probably amongst Montgomery County voters too. They all have a solid geographical/racial base, Jealous doesn’t really have that built-in advantage the other candidates do.
