2. I'll take a swing...

There's a strong anti-Vivek movement across the state. The MAGA message that we hear a lot about him is he was a token and, just like any other token, ya use it and then throw it away.

But...

The alternative for these guys is to vote for a woman and, no matter that she f'ing saved the state during covid, that's a greater sin than being "brown".

What you're seeing, IMHO, is the MAGA crowd falling in line.

Separately - I really like Amy Acton and I would say that among the last 3-4 Dem candidates for governor going all the way back to geriatric Lee Fischer...she's got the best change to turn the state house blue. Her running mate - David Pepper - is arguably the most strategic Dem in the state and he's a fighter. I like their chances.
