Hogan likely to turn partisan

The detailed accounting of your editorial endorsement of Larry Hogan for governor was impressive, but there was one crucial omission.

The difference between a first-term Republican governing in ablue state while facing re-election as opposed to governing in a second term when re-election considerations disappear was given no consideration. During his first term, Governor Hogan has shown flashes of the partisanship, pettiness and bullying of which he is capable. Gov. Chris Christie was a moderate Republican darling in blue New Jersey during his first term and despised after winning re-election.
