MD DNC needs to stop eating its own and downgrade Brown and throw all they have (which is a lot) behind Edwards to get hogan gone

No way such a blue state should have him at the top

I don't get this line of thought. Donna didn't have enough support for us senator, but you want her to run for governor?

That spot could be filled by any tom, dikk, or harry, if it weren't up for grabs during mid term. What does the democratic party want to be. That's the real question.

I doubt it. Just Cory Booker 2.0.

If you have a message that resonates with the people, in this age of social media, as a black politician, you shouldn't have to wait your turn to make power moves. Hell be "successful" but there will never be another Obama presidency.

I thought she was at odds with them because they didn't endorse her. She would've had to do a lot more than kiss ass to turn favor away from the Congressional campaign committee chairman. It's unfortunate, but she had no chance from the gate. You're not endorsed based on principles. You're endorsed based on how much work you put in for the party.

Yeah, that put a dent. But the area of Maryland that there's a lot of Jewish people is Montgomery County near DC which is mainly where Van Hollen represents. He was winning those anyway.

It's also full of Takoma Park Jews who are not down with AIPAC

I don't think that was the reason she lost at all

I dunno. If Trump wins, it will take a black man to beat him. Hillary loses and there won't be another female candidacy until 2030

She can probably win her seat back in 2018

But I doubt she's going to do that

She gotta get in good graces the next couple years. Hogan probably won't be as popular in 2018.

Hogan will lose Baltimore City for the red line fiasco but the county he might come through. She needs to tone down the militancy sadly.
