This is kind of why I'd prefer JB this time around. After a certain point, money only helps so much, but it is definitely needed in these races. Further, a candidate who can't self-fund themselves next year will have a large disadvantage with their campaign and at the same time, will suck up donor money that should instead be going to legislative races, which money definitely does help.
Kennedy can self-fund and isn't tainted from quid quo pro with Blago...

Yeah, but he's just a crappy candidate Tongue

This whole situation is overblown. The amount of people who vote based on a LG pick is minimal let alone the actual power the position holds in office. The LG office doesn't make policy, let alone foreign policy. I agree it was stupid of Biss's team to not do proper research before making his LG choice though in the first place.

This, so much. On top of that, it's painfully obvious that he just dropped Ramirez-Rosa when he saw that the political winds were blowing against him, which is not the kind of behavior most people want to see from a supposed anti-establishment crusader.

I couldn't care less about where his LG nominee stands on Israel or whatever, but what bothers me is that he was willing to change course on such an important decision at the drop of a hat.
