In Maryland Republicans are beginning to get excited about the chances of a return of former Governor Bob Ehrlich to the statehouse.
Last February the current governor Democrat Martin O’Malley held a 51/41 lead among Likely Voters. Given the nature of Maryland a ten point lead with nine months to go should have been enough to call the race now. Nevertheless, the Democrat “brand name” is deteriorating so quickly that a June survey, also of Likely Voters, showed O’Malley’s lead had evaporated to an insignificant 44/43 even though Ehrlich has advanced just two points. The answer is Marylanders’ right track/wrong track views: 41/52. O’Malley remains personally popular as his healthy 58/34 numbers show, but so far this hasn’t help him gain traction.
California
In California there has been a steady level of excitement about the possibility of Meg Whitman becoming the next governor and Carly Fiorina becoming the next Senator from the Golden State. So far the numbers don’t support that optimism.
While a stunning 78% of Californians believe their state is on the wrong track it does not seem that Democrat former Governor Jerry Brown is being seen as culpable for the mess he has helped create during his decades in California’s State and local government. He leads Republican Meg Whitman 45/39.
In the Senate race news of Barbara Boxer’s demise is very premature. She is ahead of Republican Carly Fiorina 45/41.
Both Brown and Boxer will be helped by a ballot initiative to legalize and tax marijuana which will draw out Democrats in an otherwise very depressing year for them.
Ohio
In Ohio the chances of recapturing the statehouse are not good. Democrat incumbent Ted Strickland is no ball of fire, but Republican John Kasich has been flat on his back and stuck at 38% for months…
Massachusetts
The Bay State is another place where the “right track” is trailing the “wrong track” 40/49. And as is the case in California Republicans don’t seem to be able to make any headway against the unpopular Democrat incumbent Deval Patrick. Perhaps because of the presence of an Independent candidate who is drawing 9%, Republican Charlie Baker is trailing 38/31.
Educate yourself and fight for your future, America needs you.
“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”-Samuel Adams.
Our nation has been taken over by people who hate our America and it’s time to recognize this fact.
Each American has to pick a side. Will you stand and fight with other patriots?
What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow? Let’s stand fight back and regain our country and our lives.
