Minner will be gone, but Daniello, DeLuca & Co. will still be there after November. All Markell has to do now is ask Democratic voters if they're happy with the way that group has run the state for the past 8 years. Because, truth be told, Minner hasn't run anything, and it wasn't Carney who was holding the reins. It was these clowns. Trading Minner for Carney is like giving fresh horses to the James Gang.

Markell knew Carney was going to win the party hacks who make up the NCC Rd committee members. He knew it and said, I'm going to win on the ground among Democrats. His gripe isn't with the system. It is with the Carney camp poisoning the well instead of trying to help get Democrats elected. LG #6 is not a good point.

(that sounded a little like a push-poll question; nonetheless, its a valid point) Al, does your clarification of what happened and its effect show that someone who made a lot of money on his own would be more competent as Governor than a party hack?

In which case it's a great strategy, because the decision to run those ads is costing the Carney camp far more than it gained. It's what smart campaigns do. Carney's campaign, OTOH, is left looking stupid, and they've tarnished the one credential he could claim. Brilliant work on their part, no?

How is Markell not complicit in it? If he had laid the groundwork for this in March, saying "this is a bad and undemocratic way to do this and I'm not going to participate." Fine.

They were updated with phone numbers and had a score calculated on the basis of past voting records. Is it just possible that more than a few 'party leaders' fancy themselves as kingmakers? In my first foray into candidacy, the folks at the Maryland GOP HQ provided me with a complete voter list of my district. It was a couple of months old but it was free. It was a contested primary but the other candidate never asked for help. Money and name recognition were all he thought he needed. Filing fees were rather reasonable and were not intended as barriers to participation. Back in my days in Maryland politics, I remember some lists of voters that were generated by volunteers.
