Maryland Voters

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

And a conservative won Maryland?

I'd assume he meant Ehrlich.  While not a hard liner, he's certainly more conservative than moderate in my book.

However he governed in many ways like a Democrat,For example he was opposed to state testing standards in public schools and he also supported stem cell research.

3-4 liberal counties actually. To define the whole state as "liberal" shows a clear lack of knowledge of how things in the state work.

You're a clever one.

It doesn't matter if the majority rules from only "3-4 liberal counties"; they dominate the state. It's wholly irrelevant, when speaking of the state as a whole, to say there are very Republican areas that get outvoted. I suppose you would also object to New York and California being labeled "liberal?"

Politically mixed would of course be a more accurate term to describe many states in this nation. Setting states in one of two political camps is a little simple if you ask me.

We have ten Maryland voters here?

The only states to vote for Kerry more strongly than Maryland are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont and New York (and DC). So if it's not liberal, then only those 4 states + city can be described as "liberal"

I live in Charles County, not one of the so called "liberal counties".  The thing is the counties in the center of the state are the more populous ones and also are more liberal.  One the fringes like the eastern shore and the western panhandle, people are more Conservative.  The reason this gives the Liberals power is because all of the big cities are in this center and they help out the Liberals.

Isn't this a bit...obvious? Almost unanimously, the most populous county in each state voted for John Kerry, and George Bush won more counties than John Kerry in most states, too, including more than half of all states that voted Democratic in 2004. (Only Hawaii, New Jersey and every state in New England had more of their counties vote for John Kerry than George Bush.)

Generally, the small counties in Maryland are pretty strongly Republican.  The medium-sized counties (Anne Arundel, Howard, Charles) are swing counties.  The largest counties (except for Baltimore County, a swing county) are heavily Democratic. 

All states have some mix of Democratic and Republican voters.  But the mix in MD tilts strongly toward the Dems.  It is clearly one of the most Democratic states in the country.  The state legislature is almost 3/4 Dem in both houses, largely due to the fact that every single legislator in Montgomery, PG, and Baltimore City are Democrats.   These legislators alone are almost enough to constitute a majority (22 out of 47 state senate seats).

There was a time when Baltimore City alone held a majority of the population of Maryland.

Baltimore City's lovely new mayor was soundly booed at a sold out Orioles game Tuesday night while having a ceremony honoring Cal Ripken, Jr. I found it quite humorous.

[Moooooo]

A lot of talk... no action...

Thats all I'm saying.

Sadly she's going to run away with this election.  Mitchell should have entered the race earlier and hit harder.  At least then he would have had a chance.

Is this O'Malley we are talking about?

He still has The Baltimore Sun backing him up regardless.
