These speeches took me by surprise.
I’ll be curious to hear what you think of them.

I actually changed my mind about who I’m supporting. How about that!

What I understand from folks who work with them is the January 6 was a big 180. He didn’t want his wife and kids to be there and his family didn’t want to be there anymore either.

I don’t blame them. I certainly wouldn’t want to be there either. It’s a whole different kind of crazy they were threatening and it’s only over in our dreams or denial. Things change sometimes and this situation, things changed a lot.

I was disappointed myself but I’ve gotten used to the idea. I am relieved that is running for governor because I am really not impressed with Josh Green and Vicky leaves me cold.

whatever his reasons for leaving DC, running for governor is too big a step for him. If he wanted to stay in local politics, there are other options. Josh Green has been a good Lt.Gov. and that experience will make him a good governor.
