This looks accurate to me.  I think it'll be something like  Obama 60.5 Romney 38

Maryland is a dying state.  The Bartlett gerrymander is galling, he's been a pretty good rep for that part of the state.

Having a lot of black people in a state doesn't actually = a dying state, TheGlob, though it may very well = a state you don't like.

Maryland has a lovely, enviable economy compared to the majority of states.

The Senate race is the only thing worth paying attention to here. That could be good.

A ton of African-Americans and a ton of white liberals in Maryland.

I  can't fathom any Republican candidate ever carrying  it.

Typical Democrat mindset that when he/she said Md is a dying state you instinctively thought of race. 

Maryland has a "lovely" economy not because of good policy coming out of Annapolis, but in spite of it.  The only reason Maryland gets away with it is that it's wagon is hitched to the pubilc dole, our tiny neighbor, WASHINGTON DC.

Outside of Montgomery/Prince George's counties (40% of the pop.),  Md is a very politically reasonable state

What else could he possibly have been referring to?

You think opebo represents the "typical Democrat"? Jeez. There's a reason I have you on ignore.

Agreed. Races with a significant 3rd party player are always entertaining.
