Dan Cox

I would be thrilled if he won the general. I think the republicans would stand a better chance of winning with a moderate. That's the reason Hogan won two terms...he was moderate. Moderate is democrat-speak for republican and republican-speak for RINO. Personally, I would prefer someone like Dan Cox. But that's just me.

I get that, but on this one I'm going to say never. Dan Cox is going to get crushed in the general. Hogan beat Anthony Brown who was a terrible candidate, and Ben Jealous who was even worse. Hogan also rode a lot of anger over O'Malley's tax increases to a slim win over O'Malley's LT. Gov who botched the health care rollout badly. He touted business climate and fiscal responsibility while constantly straddling the line on any issue that could be considered a conservative vs. liberal issue. Dan Cox not only has to convince dems to crossover for him, something not likely to happen, but he also has to face a dem base that has been out of power for 8 years and will probably be looking at the first African American governor. Wes Moore doesn't have the O'Malley/Brown baggage to deal with.
I certainly agree with never say never, but this just looks too easily like a slam dunk. When the dust settles I doubt that Cox can get more than a little over 30% of the vote in the general. Schultz probably wouldn't have done much better, she just wasn't a very good candidate either. I'm sorry Franchot didn't win. At least he wasn't on the far left side of the spectrum. As it is now, Maryland is headed for a shift to the progressive left that is going to make people dizzy.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
What's really ironic is that three Cox won in the primary, with two in Calvert, one for Commissioner, and one for Sheriff. That's a lot of of Cox.

I was just being optimistic. I agree - the Democrat will win. There are just too many of them in the state who mindlessly vote for the D. But there IS a chance because of the stench the progs have tainted the Democrat Party with. I mean, I'm not going to count on it or anything but it is possible.
My Governor is a slam dunk. He'll almost certainly go against Charlie Crist, who he will spank and send back to the crack house he came from. Although Nikki Fried may get the Dem nod because those psychos do love their fellow psychos. I'm kind of hoping it will be Fried because she's so trashy and reality show crazy that she's fun to watch.
It's being reported that Cox received $1.16M from the Dem party for campaign advertising.
Yeah, it was gross. The ads can be found on YouTube, it just showed he was part of the cult. That’s all, the cultist listened, and here we are.
It can always backfire, but with candidate the dems she selected, this race is over.
