Yeah Herring done good. I remember that race.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Brown. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost.

And like with any campaign or candidate anywhere, a particular party is just not going to win every race. Sometimes the year is bad, sometimes the candidate. And in a state as dominated by Democrats as Maryland is there tends to be room, ironically, for people to vote for a Republican, particularly if he or she casts themselves as some kind of moderate reformer. But a conservative Republican isn’t going to win repeatedly in Maryland.

Shades of Ehrlich in 2002. But yeah Herring has been great. When he fought hard for the overturning of our gay marriage and civil union ban here, I said that it was among my most proud votes. I still don’t like Terry McAulliffe at all. I do like the Lt Governor Northam though I don’t know a ton about him other than that he’s been despite being from a fairly conservative area a strong voice on choice.
