But remember, this is suburban Maryland, not suburban Kansas or Oklahoma or Texas or Ohio. We've learned over the last couple of elections that we don't always mirror the majority of the country.
Thank you! But not so fast, Barbara. Maryland has a Republican governor. My congressional district (the 8th), which borders DC, had a Republican congresswoman for many years, until recently. Maryland also has many small towns and rural areas where there are plenty of pickup truck-driving, gun-toting, religious conservatives, many of whom I'm sure are politically conservative as well.
The MD Republicans have always had to pander to a large group of liberals in the state. This isn't anything like the typcial RED state, you must agree!
