She can run for governor. Talarico stays in the senate race. I literally groaned when I heard she was entering the race. Two great candidates for the same position and only one can advance. Would make so much more sense if she had decided to go for governor and we would have had prominent democrats working together to get the vote out and it would have boosted down ballot races all the way down the ticket.

Based upon historical results, I don't believe Jasmine can win state wide and I have the upmost respect for her brains, surfered Dec 16 #3
