I live in neighboring PA,so I will just express what I hear is going on. Current Repub Gov Hogan is very popular. He coat tails on all the State House and Senate votes which are both majority Dems. He has a lot of money and unfortunately Ben Jealous hasn't been able to compete.If the House and Senate can increase there majorities especially in the State Senate they get a super majority and are veto proof.The House is already there.I would love a blue wave to sweep Hogan out of office but it's an uphill climb.
