Thanks so much. Its one of the motist popular stories on our facebook, Anthony Browns surprising loss in the maryland governors race. Co more with reaction. Troy, how did a democrat from Prince Georges County fail to make contact in an area democrats outnumber republicans 21. He didnt do a good job and didnt distance himself from the Omalley Campaign and listeners i spoke to dont feel he delivered a message what would happen in a potential administration and this could have been the first africanamerican governor in maryland history. Doesnt seem like the campaign really hit the right tones. In the end, troy, the campaign tried to play that up, that he would be the first africanamerican governor but he wasnt able to motivate that base, to come out, the africanamerican voting base. There were several areas in maryland which is a tried and true blue state generally in most elections. He didnt seem to get the support in areas that you think a democratic candidate would get, like Baltimore County had over 200,000 registered democrats who did not even vote. You know, larry hogan made gains in baltimore city. Those things dont happen in democratic elections in a state as blue as maryland. Some listeners that live in the Baltimore Area felt he didnt spend a lot of time in the area and didnt really connect with listeners there, a key area for voters in maryland. And on commercials brown had a lot of high profile people supporting his Campaign Including the two president s, president barack obama and in Prince Georges County, the first lady the monday before election day and president clinton. That may have backfired or been too late. People may have already made their decisions. He appeared to be one of the few candidates that didnt distance himself from the president but the dye may have already been set. A lot of folks had a sense they had to hold their nose on this one. The folks i talked to, not really sold on larry hogan, it may have been a situation where he, simply, as in brown, lost the election more than hogan won the election.
