NBC's Chuck Todd on Maryland

NBC Political Director Chuck Todd had this to say about the Free State in his election guide:

About the only major development here is that the state GOP could lose yet another Republican House seat. Believe it or not, Maryland wasn't always this much of a Democratic state, but it sure is looking like one now. Seven of the eight seats could now be Democrat. And I can't find a Republican for miles that appears to have the statewide juice to break the Democrats’ hold on any of these statewide seats. This is a state where the GOP may need to start from scratch.

How do you go from holding the Governor's office to starting from scratch in just two years?
