“Namely the front runner is a Republican, Steve Hilton”
That’s a laugh.
He’s barely at 18%.
True, he has a shot at 44% of the voters in the election.
Not a laugh when you consider that ONLY the top two candidates in the nonpartisan June primary qualify to face each other in the November general election. And since there are over a dozen candidates, the split up makes being at 18% the clear LEADER in the primary thus guaranteeing him the November general election slot. Oh, and his opponent could well be another Republican who is in second place.
