MD-Gov: Don't be Jealous!

[henster]

Did she have a serious shot anyways, I though the race was between Baker, Jealous, and Kamenetz?

Dems running on single payer in states is so dumb it has a terrible track record. Completely failed in VT and when it was up for a vote in CO got blown out. It's just not fiscally feasible for a state to do something like this. The Hogan ad is a good template of what Dems should expect when Rs start to campaign against single payer.

Jealous is imploding, awful candidate I think he manages to lose by double digits.

Do people forget Brown lost in 2014 in part because of the backlash to O'Malley's tax policies? Things like the rain tax were really unpopular and Hogan tied Brown to that as much as possible. Blue state Rs win mostly because they run as fiscal conservatives and vow not to raise taxes. This is why I think Jealous has no path, he's pushing even higher taxes than what O'Malley or Brown were even considering.

Hogan's first GE ad is about taxes, hits O'Malley and the infamous rain tax. Jealous is going to have a hard time outmaneuvering Hogan on taxes especially with his single payer plan he's pushing.
