Is this the Michael Steele from the RNC?
If so, I’d sure like to see someone better come along.
I lost all respect for the guy that was head of the RNC for a few years.
Without reading the article: As democrat or republican?
You forgot the “RINO ALERT” in the title.
No. Just no. It’s going to take a near-miracle for a Republican to win that seat, and Steele doesn’t have that kind of miracle in him. His previous attempts around here basically amounted to pretending he was a Democrat and relying on melanin count. Didn’t work as the voters went for the real Democrat instead.
FAIL.
No chance. Brown will win and we all know why, lest we forget the racist comments some of the lib PG county folks gave Steele in his 2014 Senate bid. MD is even more whacko now than even MA where even the RINOs like Steele can’t even be competitive. When Ehrlich had a near 60% approval rating and still lost by double digits to the former drunkard mayor from one of America’s most dangerous cities, that tells you everything you need to know.
Harford, Cecil, Washington, Garrett, and Allegheny are the only certain areas for a GOP candidate. Frederick has been trending left as people fly north of the DC suburbs and is probably a 53-47 proposition at best. The Eastern shore is probably slightly red, but not enough people there with the libs able to pull even overall in Salisbury and OC.
Anne Arundel and Baltimore County (not city) used to be areas where Republicans would win well, but AA is now almost a 50-50 shot, a Balt County has swung Democrat in the last few Elections. Howard County (Columbia/Laurel) has also turned into a few point Democratic advantage.
And this is before taking into account the massive advantages for the Democrats in PG and Baltimore City. Lastly, Montgomery County should be prime RINO country, but this too has a leftist advantage even with all the companies fleeing the higher taxes.
Simply put, there’s no mathematical way for Steele to win in the current climate, without some type of cultural change and awareness on behalf of Maryland voters.
Brown is a very impressive guy, even though I don’t agree with him on many issues. His running mate, Ken Ulman, has been a relatively popular Howard County executive. There’s no way a Republican - even a faux Republican like Steele - beats that ticket.
My sympathies to Maryland, where many Baltimore voters have been voting early and often since registering in 1789.
Can’t this racist get a job somewhere? Is he unemployable? Isn’t there a drill press somewhere in need of an operator?
I would not vote for him as Dog Catcher.
No, and the democrats will trash him mercilessly for leaving the plantation.
oh. him again.
Okey-dokey . . .
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
