Chris Van Hollen should get in. His hopes of recapturing house gas go e array, he should run now that Dems gave a clear shot at majority.

She did a phenomenal job, except for the Cromnibus package that was highly ctitcized by occupy wallstreet voters.

I think the Hogan loss was a little overblown. Low turnout was key to the GoP win here. If Walker who is leading in primary, Black turnout, which has 26 percent thresehold, will be high due to Walker's unconstutitonal voter ID law that Kemnedy SCrt struck down, in WI.

Yeah, now I believe he has no chance in Dem primary for Prez. He needs to take a hint and run for Senate. Let Webb and Bernie Sanders and Biden run against Hilary.

I really do hope Van Hollen doesn't run. I want him to be Speaker or Majority Leader. Not a junior Senator.

Same. Edwards, Sarbanes, or Mizeur would all be good.

It would have been nice, but 2014 changed things and the GoP cemented their majority for rest of decade. Time is now, where Dems have a clear shot at majority and he will have a future chairmanship of a subcommittee. And he may serve on Judicial committee to help select a future SCOTUS pick for Ginsberg.

OMalley is keeping his options open when he deferred to Van Hollen, should Clinton opt out of presidential run.

I think blacks were a little burned by the Ben Cardin and Mfume candidacies when Cardin said he was against Iraq War and voted to fund the troops. I wasnt a Cardin supporter but I welcome Donna Edwards and I am switching my endorsement to Edwards, eventhough she isnt a Mfume.

That's good that Gillibrand is doing this, with all do respect, Van Hollen is a fundraising machine, Dems need him, if they want to compete in future Senate races. As Van Hollen spearheaded the House congressional committee as well.

If Robin Kelly gets into ILL race, then there may be a chance to get these two women elected to senate. But, the status quo candidates may win, due to party leaders, not outside groups' influence.

I would also like to see a primary poll in MD and IL.

Now, the Leader Reid is out the way, Edwards will have momentum in building her profile in running for Senate. Best wishes to her

Hogan won in a GOP wave. Unless Bernie Sanders is nominated; this seat will go just like Ca, handily to Dems.
Blk turnout in Prince George & Montgomery Cnty will be safe.

Van Hollen will likely be elected with 55 percent of the vote.

That's why Van Hollen was recruited, because he is a strong debator, and if it gets tight, he can pull it out. R's wont get closer than 5.

The only plausible person that can win, was Steele or Hogan or Ehlrich. Van Hollen has the money to overcome any opponent
