Their Governor is fairly popular guy named Douglass or something he could probably make it a contest but i think he does not want to get into a race he may lose

A few polls showed him losing by something like 20% to Sanders. People in blue states make fundamentally different choices for governor and senator. They're OK with a Republican governor, because they guard the state's budget and can always be overridden by a liberal legislature, but they have to have a liberal Demonrat for Senator.

Absolutely, that's why I can tell you as a Marylander that Michael Steele will not be our next Senator. Once the anti-Social Security and Uncle Tom insinuations come through full force, Steele will be yelling uncle.
