Here is a growing number of Democrats unwilling to say whether they voted for Obama in 2008 or 2012. We definitely expect to be adding to this list.

“If I was rooting for failure, I would let you be governor.”

Larry Hogan, Republican running for Maryland Governor, tore his opponent’s record apart. MD Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown helped to oversee MD’s failed Obamacare exchange.

Hogan explained:

“This has been an unmitigated disaster. We’re not like other states – we were the worst in the entire country. We’re the first state to abandon our entire system. You’ve wasted $288,000,000 of the taxpayers’ money – it’s being investigated by the feds right now!”
