8 months is a long time in politics. I see Trump dragging the party further down and no doubt the legislature will do something really stupid that will catch Reynolds in the middle.

Of course we want the strongest candidate and hopefully someone with some coattails.

I really like Boulton - he is dynamic and extremely knowledgeable. My feeling is he would be a dramatic contrast to Reynolds. Plus he is a great friend of labor.

Hubbell is too laid back for me. Norris has moved to #2 in my mind. I like Andy McGuire, but boy-oh-boy she made some people upset at IDP.

I frankly don't care who it is - I would vote for the devil over any Repub.

And I am still not convinced she will be the nominee.
