Would he be taking him on from left or right?

Left

Patrick is the worst. Go Collier.

MN-GOV: The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that Rep. Tim Walz is running, and "to expect an announcement soon."

Good news for holding the Governor seat, bad news for holding MN-01.

Goddammit Tim.

Sounds like a lot of people are lining up under the expectation that Malloy is on the outs

He probably is, thank God.  Still anybody's guess as to whether he will run for a third term, but....the man is EXTREMELY unpopular right now. 

I don't follow Connecticut politics super closely...why is he so unpopular?

This Boston Globe article about Chris, Ted Jr. and Joe Kennedy says that Joe is expected to be in congress "for a long time" – striking down one of Baker's potential challengers (and maybe a 2020 presidential canddate).

Lol at a millionaire Kennedy businessman running as anti-establishment.

Remarkable the difference between Wisconsin recruiting and other Midwestern states for Democrats

Particularly Iowa

Five pretty strong candidates vs. a 25-year-old who ran for the house in California six months ago. The Wisconsin Democratic Party should be referred to in the past tense.

NYS Assemblyman Brian Kolb has launched a 2018 campaign to presumably face Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Conservative Republican can't win NY governorship. If only Democrats nominate "their own version" of Roy Moore...

I could see Cuomo being a perv, but the D bench is so strong and Cuomo wouldn’t have anything like the Bannon machine keeping him in the race. If allegations were to come out, he’d easily — and quickly — be replaced.
