Here we go again with 3 candidates to split the conservative vote!

Well, on some level 15% makes more sense than 14%. But whether the split is 15-13% or 51-49% one can often have a situation where any small handful on the majority side could shift the decision to the other side, so effectively the difference between one way and another is only a few percent, or even less than a percent, at which point one ought to question whether or not one is guaranteed sound decisions.

In the end, it seems that one is guaranteed a sort of mediocrity that the majority have no grounds to complain about as they have not presented an alternative that was viewed as more compelling.

Lord have mercy, you nailed it: GUARANTEED MEDIOCRITY.

SOME Americans will whine nevertheless because they are spoiled, stupid termagants bent on prolonged and VERY public temper tantrums.

Kwansman appears to be more conservative, but no one needs to slit their wrists if Tobin (or Kiehne) wins. The enemy in that district is Congresswoman Kilpatrick, who only won last time because of the liartarian.

Much to his credit, Kwasman worked to keep them off the ballot this time. He has the least money of the 3 Republicans though.

This late primary doesn’t give the winner much time to fundraise for the main event.
