Does Larry Hogan Deserve to be Re-elected? Why are MD voters so apathetic? (Baltimore: 2014, neighborhoods)

[NXNE]

It seems as if Larry Hogan is all but assured of a victory next year and I can't for the life of me think of what he's done to deserve it. It seems like most Marylanders are fine with the status quo and will vote for Hogan just because he is a safe, inoffensive choice yet he hasn't really done much for this state. Some people I've talked to think he's made MD more competitive than VA in ruling jobs to the state but other than approving the Purple Line, his grandstanding on the Port Covington Amazon bid and some tax cuts, I don't really see how he can make MD compete with the powerhouse that is NOVA. I don't know where his so called pro-business credentials come from. In fact some of his policies like picking fights with Metro or cancelling Baltimore's red line subway in order to fund rural roads were few people live are counterproductive let alone his crazy plan to widen 270 to 6 or more lanes and introduce tolls. Meanwhile, the Democrat side seems to be incredibly crowded yet other than Ben Jelous, the PG Country leader and the lady who worked for Hillary, I have no idea who the rest of the candidates are. I'm also shocked by the huge amount of apathy I see among most people, especially working class voters. We definately won't see a race like the on they just had in Virginia, so what gives? Why is deep blue MD giving Hogan a free pass?

I hesitate to make a prediction since I totally blew the 2014 election and didn't see Hogan coming but I still think we need to practice saying Gov. Baker.

Someone mentioned it, but Hogan is being Trumped by the Democrat hopefuls just like O'Malley Bushwhacked Ehrlich.

I like Hogan and think he has done a good job in Maryland ten times better then O'Mally.

Sounds like you don't want to vote for Hogan because you think he's incapable of improving Maryland. That's a pretty sad attitude to have. I say give him four more, years he's making an effort at improving Maryland's economy. That's more than O'mally can say. Also frankly a moderate Republican is exactly what we need.

Baker did a whole lot more for PG county as County Executive than Hogan did for any county in MD. Voting Baker as the next Governor would be best for the state at this time given the rising economy. Baker has been consistent throughout his tenure and has a great track record. Hogan only recently began to take action as re-election is around the corner. Red or blue, vote Baker.

And so it begins.

Baker will probably run on the scandal free and high performing school system as well as the bribery free Liquor Board.

Hogan transportation fetish tried to displace my Historically Black Neighborhood as well as other local neighborhoods in Prince Georges County. So I doubt he will be getting any votes in this area.

To be honest, he wouldn't get many votes in your neighborhood in any event.

What project?
