Robin Frazier, the singing, defeated, blogger bait county commissioner<\/a> who is also the Carroll County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC) choice for Carroll’s vacant senate seat, is already getting thrown under the bus in the first bipartisan act of the incoming Hogan administration.<\/p>\n

Len Lazerick at Maryland Reporter has the story (quotes below are from him)<\/a>. Key updates:<\/p>\n

1. Governor-Elect Larry Hogan is already looking for ways not to have to appoint Robin Frazier to Carroll’s vacant Senate seat:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe think there could be more transparency,\u201d Hogan told reporters Tuesday. \u201cWe\u2019d like to encourage them to make the process more transparent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hands are not tied\u201d by the central committee actions so far, Hogan said. \u201cThey\u2019re supposed to send three names.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the three names claim seems to be a work of fiction, it speaks volumes to Hogan’s sensible desire to find another candidate without having to say it aloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Senate President Mike Miller doesn’t want her. He has also given the CCRCC an out by pointing out that the vacancy does not exist yet, as no one has resigned their seat. Sounds like an even better excuse for a mulligan.<\/p>\n

3. Outgoing Sen. Joe Getty has been tasked to solve the problem:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Two of those sources also indicated that Hogan has told Getty to \u201cfix\u201d the problem prior to his appointment.<\/p>\n

Getty said given his role in the Hogan transition, \u201cmy position is whatever the governor\u2019s position would be\u201d and he would not comment further.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interesting response by Getty.<\/p>\n

Sen. Getty and Del. Justin Ready, who lost the CCRCC vote to Frazier by 5-4, do not get along. For Getty, a Frazier appointment has two virtues. It would keep out Ready and fill the seat with a very weak incumbent. If Getty should leave the Hogan administration, he would be well positioned to seek his old seat again in 2018. So I wonder if Getty is now having to work to undo something he supported–or at least did not discourage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. Republican Del. Krebs has publicly condemned the process:<\/p>\n

\n
Four-term Carroll County Republican Del. Susan Krebs, the top vote-getter in the general election for three-member District 5, said, \u201cI did not apply for the vacancy because I knew it was going to be a sham. I want people to know that I did not apply.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis central committee did not support Hogan,\u201d Krebs noted.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
Yikes. And to think these people are supposed to be playing for the same team.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
