that he would be another GOP vote in the Senate, regardless of how moderate he may seem or may have been in the past. I think this is very effective. His involvement with the "No Labels" group can also be used against him. MD voters are well-educated about these dynamics and I think he's vulnerable. IMHO, it is concerning that polls to date showed that Trone, but not Alsobrooks, would beat Hogan in the general but (a) at that point, she really had not advertised much, whereas Trone is a well known Rep., and (b) we all know about the reliability of polls this far out before the election.
FWIW: perennial nutcase candidate Ficker got 30% of the GOP vote. That's probably the MAGA contingent - his ads proudly proclaimed he was a Trumper -- but it's bigger than I would have guessed.

Just a NoVirginian here, with a lot of interest in MD, and we see all the TV ads, but obviously don't know as much as MD DUers.
Go Alsobrooks!
