Maryland Governor Race 2018-Democrats

No way. He would not generate turnout b/c progressives can't stand him. Plus Hogan has really good approvals, even in a state like Maryland, he's probably not going to lose.

Progressives need to get rid of the purity crap. You can't always get what you want in politics.

Delaney almost lost to literal insane person Dan Bongino. Delaney is a bad candidate.

The question is if Hogan's 70% approvals are going to continue to hold - Remember, Scott Brown had 70% approval ratings early on before losing by 8. Even Bob Ehrlich had approval ratings as high as 60% as late as September 2006 before losing re-election by 7. The right candidate makes it possible. The question is whether Maryland and Massachussets Dems are going to punt or produce a powerhouse candidate like Elizabeth Warren or (barfs in mouth) Martin O'Malley.
