Shock Poll: Republican Within 2… In Deep Blue Maryland
dailycaller.com ^ | 10/27/14 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 10/27/2014 9:28:40 AM PDT by cotton1706

A soon to be released poll by Gonzales Research, leaked to The Daily Caller, shows the Maryland Gubernatorial race to be extremely close – only 2 points, 46 to 44, separate Democratic Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown and Republican small businessman Larry Hogan.

Maryland is one of the deepest blue states, with a 2 to 1 registration advantage for Democrats, but Gonzales finds this race is well within the 3.5 percent margin of error of the survey, commissioned by the Maryland GOP.

Independents are breaking for Hogan, 46 to 32, and he’s receiving 89 percent support from his party while Brown is only pulling 73 percent of Democrats.

The Democratic and Republican Governors Associations have both entered the race, running ads for their respective candidates. President Barack Obama has campaigned for Brown, and Hillary Clinton will be going to the state this week. Governor Chris Christie, head of the RGA, has campaigned with Hogan and is scheduled to return this week as well.

Taxes (32 percent) and the economy/jobs (29 percent) are the top issues with voters. Maryland’s unemployment rate has been bucking the national trend and is now higher than the national average, currently sitting at 6.4 percent.

Voter fraud is endemic in Maryland. It will take nothing less than Divine intervention for a Republican to win.

If things like this happen, it will be a Tsunami.

Republicans need to be plus 6 in order to even have a chance at winning

I read that Connecticut might go for Foley and if Massachusetts and New Hampshire go R, we’ll have a great night.

They can easily fix that with fraud.

“I read that Connecticut might go for Foley and if Massachusetts and New Hampshire go R, we’ll have a great night.”

Not to mention LePage getting reelected in Maine.

Fraud, here in the People’s Republic?

A few months ago, we got a sample ballot in the mail for my daughter, who moved out of the insanity back to Free America. I called the election board to ask why, when she changed residence, she was not removed from the voter rolls. I was told that the state refuses to share that information with the Board of Elections. She also told me that voter registration has a habit of getting “lost” between the Motor Vehicle Administration and the Board of Elections. I asked if the lost registrations all belonged to the same party and got a nervous laugh.

As soon as my new legislators are seated, they are all getting a letter from me. This recipe for fraud needs to be dealt with.

My thought also. 2 points down will be a 10 point loss.

Not to worry — vote machine “calibration” will ensure a ‘Rat victory.

Picture taken at rally for Brown:

Sorta looks a little desperate. No wonder his flock dispersed while he was speaking.

It looks like ISIS, the be-heading in OK and Ebola finally kicked in/switched on the LIV’s self-preservation gene.

All the other travesties did’t seem to move the needle until their own skin became threatened by zero’s ‘policies’ that are indeed, on the ballot.

Yes, MD is the most Obama loving state in the Union. I’ll eat my hat if the R wins there.

I'm sure the "miscalibrated" voting machines will save the day for Brown.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
