Um, isn't 20% pretty much considered "backscatter"? I mean, you could sign up a dog and it would get 20%.

Please, no more lofty puff-pieces about how the tide is turning against old-line Lefties in the rust belt.

We really had enough of that in 1998 and 2000.

It's a signal from one of the Dems' core constituencies that they will not be slighted or taken for granted.
Hopefully, Kathleen will miss the message.
None of these folks will ever vote R, but they may well sit on their hands in November.
Just ask NYC mayor Mark Green.

Why so negative? This is good news. Bob Ehrlich got 93% and 2 other candidates split the other 7% in the Republican primary. "Backscatter" is in the range of 3-4%, or less.

A former homeless guy with a running mate living in a tent getting 20% of the vote after spending only $1000 (basically to get their names on the ballot) reflects a very real unhappiness with KKT amongst MD Democrats.

If you do not believe that KKT can be beaten by Ehrlich, then you are not aware of the political situation in MD.

I will continue to provide information about the MD governors race because it has significant implications for national trends and also future presidential politics (as KKT has often been mentioned by the liberal media as a future VP or Presidential candidate).

Your request for "no more lofty puff pieces" is Illbay-informed and also denied!!!

And, when did Maryland become part of the rust belt?

Haven't been following the MD Governor's race, have you? Ehrlich outraised KKT by a 5:1 margin during the middle of August. She's got problems, and Ehrlich's running an impressive campaign.
