Gee, I like both of these candidates.

Unlike how I feel about the presidential election (don’t worry, I’m still voting in November) as a Maryland resident, I’m perfectly happy with both of these Senate candidates. I actually don’t know which one I’m voting for and I’m kind of disappointed one of them has to lose.

Democracy is messy. I just hope that in this race–as in the presidential one–Democratic candidates don’t fight so hard against each other that they provide an opening for the Republicans in November.

Tough call here. The President’s public speeches are clearly public domain, and the PAC is well within it’s rights to use it. But if the man calls and asks it be removed, well, you sort of have to do it. Even at the cost of helping an historic election result.

Well… that pretty much makes it clear who Obama supports in this race.

I do like both candidates but I probably would lean towards Van Hollen just strictly from the standpoint of how he has comported himself in the house.

Don’t know about that except the POTUS would not want to be used specifically AGAINST Van Hollen, who has been a quiet, effective ally.

Ok, I guess we have a minor disagreement here but whatever, I’m fine either way in the primary.
