But you’re not a Democrat running against a Republican congressman in a marginal district.
in the alternate universe, I am a DEM running against GOP in marginal land. After I get elect, my voting record drifts rightward, til the lefties start screaming “primary!!!”
I get on the ballot with CT’s “Independent Party” in case I lose the primary. Do the GOPers dual-endorse me? If I lose the primary ... if it looks close, do I abandon that effort and run in the GOP primary?
Of course, this would be a DEM leaning seat, not a swing district, so the GOP would probably be happy to have me switch. I am so duplicitous, phony, and treacherous. Yes, I am Murphy!
