What I meant in that comment, if it matters at all (and I don't think it does, people are intent on finding anything at all to bicker endlessly over, and those people seem to be multiplying) was that Ben refuses to drop out of the race, last I checked if he actually lost the race, so I felt like a primary was a pointless exercise to some extent. I will back out of the race entirely if I lose, but since Ben is hellbent on running anyway, it's nearly political blackmail at that point, since if I end up winning, he will forcibly split the vote anyway.
Ben said he would back out if he lost.
