Baltimore City, Montgomery County and Prince George's County have, between them, 21 state senators and 61 delegates, just short of half the membership of both houses (47 and 141, respectively).<br /><br />Republicans hold precisely ZERO of these seats, didn't field candidates in the vast majority of them, and had no chance to win even when they ran someone.<br /><br />So before a gubernatorial election is held, the score is 21-0 and 61-0. You can't win the game starting out like that; in fact, you can't compete.<br /><br />In the rest of the state, it's more competitive: Democrats hold a 14-12 senate edge, while Republicans actually lead in delegates, 43-37.<br /><br />So when you hear Republicans call Montgomery/Prince George's/Baltimore City the "axis of evil," translate that to "we can't compete in the largest jurisdictions in the state." Of course, as the lottery people have been telling us for years, "you can't win if you don't play."<br /><br />As usual, it all comes down to the same thing with Republicans: WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
