Beshear maybe. Crockett no. I absolutely love her, but it doesn't feel like the right time. Vinca Monday #2

It's not lucicrous at all to say he's not ready for the national stage calguy Monday #51
Two term Governor and 1term Attorney General bottomofthehill Monday #13

I'd love for her to run for Cornyn seat and win MagickMuffin Monday #36
