Big name support: Maryland Lieutenant Governor Anthony brown received support from First Lady Michelle Obama (above) a day before the election
More big names: brown also got Hillary Clinton to stump for him last Thursday (above), but still lost to businessman Larry Hogan
The DU thread entitled:
“We Just Lost Maryland. F*cking Maryland.”
That thread said it all.
This and the GOP win in Illinois are earth shattering.
Hogan is a RINO and I’m not surprised he pulled it off.
I guess people were tired of another black guy.
Isn’t it obvious? Candidate Brown is black; therefore his loss is solely due to RACISM! < /sarc >
Don’t expect much here. DPRM legislature does not cooperate w/repub govs. Even though he campaigned on cutting taxes, he can’t actually do that unilaterally as governor.
It’s still nice a repub won but it’s basically a pyrrhic victory.
For years I have been dining out on my lurid tales of Baltimore Voter Fraud, where the same wonderful people have been voting since 1789, and where Edgar Allan Poe was registered until just a year ago. No more (or should I say "Evermore?"). WTF happened? Nancy Pelosi's dear olde dad Tom D'Allesandro could have delivered at least 103% for the Democrat, thereby winning the whole state.
O I am even more dismayed, distraught almost, by the failure of the city's many, many African-American pastors to deliver the vote. What the hell do the Democrats pay them for, anyway? (Get Sharpton and Soetoro on this immediately!) Did the church vans (federally supplied) all run out of gas? Did Obama fail to deliver street money? Rumors have reached me that many Baltimore African-Americans were so weakened by the new Michelle School Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Programs and EBT Healthy Eating initiatives that they were unable to vote more than once, some skipping the process entirely! For shame! Michelle showed up wif Buckets'o'KFC, but too late!
I do not mean to let Maryland's huge illegal alien but duly registered population off the hook. ¿Donde estaron? Do these people realize what they have done to my social life?
I am torn, Dennis, torn I tell you. On the one hand I rejoice in a "Republican" (whatever TF that means nowadays) victory anywhere. But where exactly am I expected to have dinner?
Is this the same Larry Hogan that was the County Executive of PG County circa 1990?
What upset?
Deep inside the Hilldabeast 2016 Campaign Headquarters...

BEFORE last night:
Campaign Advisors: “Ms. Clinton, we need to get make you look like you’re leading the Party to victory.”
Hilldabeast: “I don’t want to face any more heckling!!!”
CA: “No, we will only send you to campaigns that are guaranteed to win, so you can take credit for the victory.”
Hilldabeast: “Are there any of those? Shaheen in NH?”
CA: “No, it seems that troublesome former model is rising fast. Stay away from there.”
Hilldabeast: “Where do you suggest. Out with it!”
CA: “We want to send you to the Governors Race in Maryland. Always a sure thing. It’s a double win for you. You can “lead” by endorsing a candidate of color and not have to pretend to talk like you’re black. After he coasts to victory, he will owe you a favor. Others will think you brought him across the victory line.”
Hilldabeast: “OK, if you’re sure.”
CA: “Absolutely. We have a lock on it!”
Hilldabeast: “Will Mooch be there? I hate that woman!”
CA: “Well yes, but again, you will be standing shoulder to shoulder for the positioning effect in the pictures. It’s only for an hour.”
Hilldabeast: “OK...”

AFTER last night...
Hilldabeast: “YOU said it was guaranteed!!!!! You $*($&*$&&$*($($(!!!!!” [throws ash tray, barely missing CA]
The theme from Hogan’s Heroes will be stuck rolling around in my head for the next four years.
One-time Presidential hopeful Martin Owe’Malley is deeply saddened.
Just as well. Having Owe’Malley as President would be a sick, sad joke on the country.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
