Campaign kicks off with an attack ad from Hogan that draws a counterattack; the race is a rematch between O’Malley and Ehrlich, some commentators say; shrewd and gutless is how one columnist styles the winning Brown campaign; the campaign was not really different from the past; Brown coastedto victory, but unevenly across the state; win reinforced influence of the Washington suburbs; voter turnout was exceedingly low — was it the date or the candidates?; Mosby ran the kind of campaign Bernstein did four years ago, but the incumbent Baltimore state’s attorney ignored her; incumbent state’s attorney in Carroll County loses as well; Harris blocks D.C. decriminalization of marijuana; two Baltimore County Council incumbents lose, and one Anne Arundel race too close to call, as is Baltimore County executive race in GOP; three new commissioners in Carroll County; Montgomery County Council race is close, and opponent Glass refuses to concede to Hucker; Rolle challenge to sitting judge in Frederick goes to the general election; and Neuman says she’s finished with politics.
