Maryland is home to a huge number of defense and intelligence workers.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the headline, it's like that common line thrown at stand-up comedians (note: This is not me calling Chelsea Manning a 'joke' or making light of her situation and what she went through): know your room. That constituency does NOT seem like one that will vote for this particular candidate.

Nonetheless, I commend her willingness to step up to the plate, I can see a lot of valuable conversations coming out of the race.
