A Very Good Day for Anthony Brown

Today started with Anthony Brown receiving the endorsement for Governor from the Washington Post, then the second debate between him and Republican Larry Hogan.

The Washington Post said, "Mr. Brown is the more knowledgeable man and the more nimble politician: he would make a better governor....Mr. Brown's breadth of experience, coupled with the lack of credibility at the heart of Mr. Hogan's program, inform our endorsement. So does Mr. Brown's more substantial record of achievement in public life....Mr. Brown is the more serious and substantial candidate. He has a better grasp of how to operate the levers of government and how to bolster Maryland's competitiveness while tending to their basic needs."

This was followed by another debate between Anthony Brown and Larry Hogan, dominated by negative attacks. However, once again Anthony Brown clearly had more facts at his command and his proposals made more sense than those of Larry Hogan, whose campaign seems to consist simply of cliches repeated over and over.
