Why (just because it's MD) do I have a feeling there's going to be a bigtime "coming home" effect and that this race will actually get somewhat interesting?
When is the last time a MD GOPer won with >54% in any MD statewide race?
Spiro Agnew almost won by 9 points, but he only got 49.xx% and the Democrat much less because an indie siphoned votes away.
