Damn you could tell he has a white father. He looks more white than black.

Isn’t this the same guy who turned the NAACP into a LGBT style organization?

They started to support the LGBT marriage equality stuff in 2012 election cycle but the board formally approved it

Previous NAACP President before Jealous supported it

What are his real chances in nov?

Valerie Ervin criticizes Ben Jealous as she supports Rushern Baker for Maryland governor

Ervin contrasted the California-born Jealous, whom she called a “carpetbagger,” with Baker, whom she called a “stalwart son of Maryland.”

Jealous campaign manager Kevin Harris shot back with a dig at Ervin’s origins.

“It’s ironic someone from New Mexico would allege another candidate is a carpetbagger, but what else would you expect from a person who lies about how and why they lost their job?” Harris said. “Rushern Baker must be pretty desperate to want that kind of support."

what a disgusting comment from Valerie. I was a supporter of her story, being the first black woman on the Montgomery County Council. Carpetbagger is such a vile and disgusting description of a fellow african american.

For slow people:

He's got a shot

Maryland is a blue state and Dems outnumber GOP like 2 to 1

Issue is Hogan is popular, he's governed right in the middle though if Ben is smart he'd highlight what can get done with a Dem legislature esp with regards to healthcare, funding schools fully in pockets of the state Hogan has withheld money, and the criminal justice reforms

Take a hike.

What's wrong with posting an observation? I never paid much attention to him until now.

there was a poll last week that had Hogan up +17 pts on Jealous.

so called blue states are more tenuous in their support for liberals than red states or even purple states are for conservatives. that's why you can have a ben hogan in maryland because the state is still majority white and he just has to be likeable and down the middle on issues that concern them and to the right on issues they don't feel concern them.

Yeah it’s tough but with 4 months to go it’s not insurmountable

Rushern Baker was polling 10% or so ahead of the field a few months ago

This is true

I guess the counter would be to really turn out the vote.

He hasn't even begun campaigning for the general so there's still a lot of time to make up that gap. I wish the brother good luck.
