"The GOP erosion appears alive and well"
Right. Amazing how the self styled experts cannot see the obvious problem of a Republican feild split 14 ways vrs 2 Dems. But that right. This analysis seem far more a case of personal wishful thinking about "GOP Erosion" then reality.
Whatever. Busby will probably get a higher percentage in the runoff. One would think with so many GOP candidates to choose from, that it would maximize the GOP vote. I am not saying it does, but the splinter theory as reducing the GOP vote doesn't appeal to me. What you need to do, is post your predictions in advance like I do, and then watch who is more accurate when the rubber meets the road. Just a suggestion. Shooting the messenger who solve whatever frustrations you have, or change anything, when it comes to elections results.
