Wow! I knew this county leaned on the republican side but not this much.

I'd be curious how he conducted that "poll". Most of his polls are crap and reflect as a winner whoever the paper has endorsed or leans toward.

Vrai, didn't you mean that "most of his polls ... reflect as a winner whoever the paper's current sugar daddy wants to endorse"?

First number is Dems. Second number is Reps.

Sifl, the numbers don't reflect voting patterns. Democrats in southern Maryland, like Democrats in the rest of the South, have historically been more conservative (at least on social issues) than northern Democrats. Many older voters in St. Mary's still vote Democratic in local races and Republican in state and national races.

None from statistics, just anecdotes from county residents from both parties who are politically active.
