3. Polls don't mean a whole lot this eary in the game

As much as I love Kamala, I can not support her for the nomination again. As hard as it is for me to say it, the stakes are simply too high to risk another female candidate for the White House. I love what Newsom's been doing in that regard, but I also have misgivings about running a governor from California.
I’d much prefer to see a governor like Pritzker get in the race. It’s still early, so anything can happen in the next year.
