I can see Hogan at 43, but it would be very difficult for him to get much higher.

Brown has run a weak campaign, so I think Hogan has a shot at keeping it in the high single digits.

Though I will say, the DGA has made a few buys here, so I am curious to see what Brown's internals show.

Is that so?  Anything recent?  I have gone through the past five pages on this board, and so far nothing on Maryland was ever posted.

Larry Hogan isn't the right candidate to actually win (David Craig could've), but I wouldn't be surprised if Brown is held to a single digit margin.

For reference - Gonzales had O'Malley within the margin of error of Ehrlich in July. Then again, so did PPP. Ehrlich's campaign had its own little scandal, so I think the margin being this close this far means this race is very likely Democratic, but I don't think it's completely off the table.

I suspect, however, Democrats come home and Brown wins convincingly.

There has been one (I repeat, one) poll of this race that isn't rassy, yougov or a (quasi-)internal. This is Likely D based on fundamentals, but I'd really like to see more reliable polling.

I have a lot of politically active FB friends from Maryland through a political org, and many are pseudo-Zionists that have been touting this as an up-for-grabs race. Certainly never believed them until now though I still view Brown as easily favored. Just a little bit safer than Fallin in OK.

If a guy like Ehrlich couldn't pull it out in a year like 2010 (even against a candidate like O'Malley), I don't know how Hogan will do it in 2014.

Relying on Facebook friends to get a feel for a race is....how shall I say, not useful.

Anyway, Brown will win easily and Larry Hogan will be sent back to whatever dark lair he came from.

Stating the fact that Brown will win easily sounds like pretty useful knowledge to me. Wink

I rarely empty quote but there really isn't much else that needs to be said here.

How is O'Malley viewed in the state? I'm not familiar with Maryland politics.

Okay fine, you guys win. This race is clearly ultracompetitive and possibly tilt R. Hogan will deliver Brown a good thrashing.

(Seriously though, Republicans hoping this race is competitive are as bad as the Democrats who thought Oklahoma was winnable based off a single Rasmussen poll.)

I think this is an outlier. How is a republican getting 43% of the vote in MD in the first place? Its basically impossible for a R to get elected there. I would be shocked if he came within 10 points.

Brown will win, but it'll be a single digit race.  This is like our version of Oklahoma, methinks.

I'll wait for a poll from an accurate source before I go on and call this an outlier.

The math doesn't work for Republicans in MD there's just no way they can get to 50%. Brown will win massively in PG county and Baltimore along with Montgomery. He'll probably lose Howard and Baltimore county though.
