This is rapidly approaching clown-car level.

Why so? Baker seems like a solid candidate, and Delaney would probably be the most-recognized name in the group. Aside from his unique name, I don't think Jealous has much appeal outside the Bernie base, and Maryland isn't a Sander-esque sort of state.
Just five candidates already for a seat that'll be incredibly difficult to pry off the Republicans.

Sanders got annihilated in Maryland though. Clinton beat him by 30 points.

He's a Republican. He governs like a Republican. Can we please stop pretending that he's some sort of moderate hero?

Well then. She’s probably going to go after his seat now.

And some Democrats would vote for this guy over Jealous...lmao.

Why not? Not every Democrat is a "burning progressive"....
But every Democrat would prefer money going to schools than gubernatorial vanity projects.

The veto would have been overridden anyways.
The veto would've been virtue signalling to the Republican base. That he signed it hurts him.

And already the conspiracy theorists are flying.

Apparently Hillary killed him, according to MAGA twitter.

Baltimore Sun: Valerie Ervin criticizes Ben Jealous as she supports Rushern Baker in Maryland governor's race

I was probably going to vote for her, now I'll definitely vote for Baker (he was my original first choice before Ervin jumped in anyway)

I'm going to early voting tomorrow. Already filled out all of my sample ballot. Can't wait, it's my first real election. Smiley
First elections are fun! Congrats!

Hogan is out with his first attack ad, and it looks like an effective one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1y1u10tWY&feature=youtu.be

As I've said, unless Ben Jealous has some plan to pay for it, state single-payer is a no-go. A single payer system in MD would cost a bit over half the state's budget. Despite Maryland's left-leaning ideology, people here do care about the debt. It's why most people think the state is going in the right direction.

I will note however, that the ad doesn't mention that a single-payer system would remove healthcare costs.

surprised Hogan went on the offensive already. Not the best strategy, but I guess hes trying to define him early.
Because he's actually in trouble.

He’s in much less trouble than he could be. Listen guys, don’t fall into the trap of thinking just because MD is a blue state, that Jealous should be favored. There are a lot of people here who are liberals or progressive who can’t stand the thought of an increase in the sales or income tax. There are plenty who still remember the hysteria over the rain tax. Jealous is going to have to run one hell of a campaign to get the people he needs out to vote. I think Rushern Baker would have been a better choice, honestly. Jealous’s plans are really better implemented at the Federal level.

I think it’s too early to make a prediction right now.
The fact that he is instantly going negative does not bode well for him, I think.

If Jealous loses, it will not be because of this. I highly doubt there's some swing voter in Baltimore County who hates Trump, loves Ben Cardin and still has a Hillary sticker on their car who is completely turned off of Ben Jealous because of this.
