Skeptical Voters in District 20

Free State Politics has some letters from District 20 residents who don't think much of incumbent Sen. Ida Ruben but also are deeply skeptical of challenger Jamie Raskin. Check it out.

I heard a rumor that the polls show Ruben up by 10 against Raskin. Not much of a lead for the incumbent and races like this are hard to poll. However, I know that Ruben will take a victory no matter how small. On the other hand, it belies the impressions of some progressives who are expecting a Raskin juggernaut to sweep Ruben aside. I suspect District 20 voters will need some R&R from Ruben and Raskin by September 12th.
