Voted about 45 minutes ago. Voted for Edwards and Raskin. My fiancé went with Van Hollen and Raskin.

Out of curiosity, why Raskin? He seems good to me, but how is he different from the other candidate(s)?

Out of curiosity, why Raskin? He seems good to me, but how is he different from the other candidate(s)?

1) He has helped pass so much progressive legislation in the State Senate: Maryland Green Act, Military Assault Weapons Ban, Death Penalty Repeal, Equal Pay Act, and Legalizing Same Sex Marriage. The other candidates don't have a record even close to that.

2) The two other viable options are awful. David Trone has pumped 9 million dollars of his own money into the campaign. He's donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and the past and he supports the TPP. Kathleen Matthews, wife of MSNBC's Chris Matthews, is a former Marriott Lobbyist and hasn't made a decision on the TPP. She wouldn't be as awful as Trone, but Raskin is still better.

3) Raskin offered my fiancé a job last year when she was looking for work, she too a different job, but she he seemed to be a really great guy.

Makes sense. Sounds like you made a good choice.

Tight race in PA-2 between Chaka Fattah and his opponent.

Whats in the future for Edwards?

Obviously can't contest her House seat so... maybe Governor?

Governor, or hope that Cardin retires, I guess.
