Washington Monthly editor Bill Scher declared that “Mills should get back in the race,” referring to the 78-year-old governor — favored by party leaders like Chuck Schumer — who suspended her primary campaign in April after getting her clock cleaned by Platner so badly she’s probably still shitting pieces of her dentures out.

LOL. Sure, Bill. That's what people really want, an old Blue MAGA who is comfortable letting LLM companies take your land, water, power, and your job. All to make a few billionaires more money they'll never actually live to spend anyway.

No wonder Graham's running away with this thing.

It may be declining somewhat but I am not sure it's coming to an end. I mean CA is stepping up to elect the next smoothgroin in Becerra...
