It might seem counterintuitive, but constantly speaking ill of your political opponent can work to his advantage. And that might be whats happened in the Maryland gubernatorial campaign between Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown... and real estate executive Larry Hogan... But, it could backfire, too. I base this on instincts and on what Ive heard from numerous Democrats, including some of the states most prominent. They find it strange that, instead of trumpeting his own positives, Brown has chosen to go negative on Hogan. And not just a little negative, a lot. Browns negative ads helped establish Hogans name in households where it didnt exist and made voters wonder if Hogan could be as bad as alleged. People are sick of super-partisanship in politics. Even Democrats and independents might be wondering why Brown, Mr. Nice Guy, went negative, out of the box, on Hogan.
