RE :”You are absolutely right. But Maryland didn't just have “huge” turnout in 2008, they had record-setting turnout. Not just in the number of voters, but in the percentage of voting-age population that actually voted.
And that went sooooo well for the Republicans.
Factor in that MD’s demographics haven't exactly improved in the last 4 years, and the supposedly large turnout we're seeing in 2012 might mean than Bonzo gets to 65% instead of the mere 62% he got in ‘08. Or maybe a few more R's are coming out and we hold him to 59%. “

The Demographics turned around big in GWBs first term. In the 1990s (rich) Howard County was solid R. By 2004 it went to Kerry and the Bush Housing Boom and gov spending and massive immigration were all working together to flip it, and still are. By 2008 it was over.

I expect nothing good from this place, home of Martin O Malley and spineless weakling Erhlich, (spits)

Howard County voted for Klinton twice, but by a smaller margin than the rest of Maryland so you could say that they weren’t so bad then, though I can remember them back in the 80s when Columbia was becoming a “planned community” with its Fascist HOAs.

By the 2000s, you’re right — that whole county was *gone*. I guess whatever diasease Columbia had, spread.
