I just hope that we don't have half the Pubies in the State filing to run. The last thing we need is for some Dem to come out of the woodwork and win with 20% of the vote. Perhaps the "big names" can all sit around a table, play a few hands of 5 card draw and settle the nomination quietly.

Costa was saying they wanted more than two candidates; I would guess three or four. The unspoken but obviously strategy is Grayout will have a limited amount of time to launch the smear and dirt tactics, and multiple (but not excessive) targets would make it harder.

The state would be better off picking some poor slob's name from a phone book. I think anyone who actually wants this job needs to have his head, or his motives, examined.

Works for me, especially if it's a 1-election winner-take-all setup (unlike Wisconsin, where there is a runoff unless someone gets 50%+1).
