Every election year, it seems, there’s a race that catches the political set in Washington by surprise. There are signs that the governor’s race in Maryland is more competitive than it should be. Voters in the state are being bombarded by harsh ads attacking the Republican, Larry Hogan. Watching the ads, which come from the campaign of Anthony Brown, the Democrat, and the Democratic Governor’s Association, one might think Hogan actually opposes all birth control and favors gun violence. (Questions to the DGA about the veracity of its ads went unanswered.) Hogan’s message has been straightforward: Maryland politicians spend too much and Maryland residents are taxed too much. He has repeatedly reminded voters that Brown oversaw the disastrous implementation of Maryland’s Obamacare exchange – one of the worst in the country. The lead sentence of his website, and a main theme of his campaign, is a staple of every attempt to channel the thoughts of frustrated independents and win gettable Democrats. Larry Hogan is not a career politician.
