Hello,
Well, Election Day is over everyone. The political ads will cease and the mudslinging will end. Actually none of that will end once the new congressional term begins.
Yesterday, the state of Maryland showed it's anger by not giving Anthony Brown a promotion by voting in a businessman, Larry Hogan, who isn't at all a career politician.
As I watched the returns yesterday. A lot of my republican/conservative democrat friends were actually quite worried over the first returns. I said: I'm not worried at all. It's very early in the election and we haven't gotten started yet with the actual returns.
Around 9:30pm with about 46% of the precincts reporting, I noticed Hogan had a 10 point lead and said: Ah well, it's early. Still too early.
I figured at around 55-60% of the precincts... Hogan's lead would start to dwindle, instead, it got larger, I showed my father who dismissed it as still too early.
Around 85% of the precincts covered and Hogan's lead was still quite strong. I was saying: Something's not right here... Hogan's looking very good.
Then Brown made his concession speech around 12:05am and in the end, I said finally, the end of "politics as usual" here in Maryland. I also kept watch on the statehouse as republicans made huge gains in the senate and house of delegates.
I'm also very happy to see that the senate was won by republicans. Now some items of note CAN BE REPEALED
O'Malley will walk away with a very unpopular governor's rating among voters

Mr. Hogan,
You have clearly won the vote of the people. They used their noggins and voted right. Maryland rode voter anger and disbelief to the polls and you not only won convincingly but decisively. Not only that, it is very important that you LISTEN to the people whom elected you to the highest and powerful office of the state.
