[Blair]

I imagined this read in the voice of Peter Mannion

lol this is a candidate for worst D primary in the country. I'm rooting for none of these candidates. I mean I'd be fine if one of them was dragged over the line thanks to muh blue wave but I'm not glad any of them would be Governor.

Phil Levine is the kind of horrendous political oppurtunist that makes Charlie Crist look principled, also a weird centrist. Gwen Graham is so old fashioned that Lawton Chiles seems modern, also a boring centrist. Meh Gillium. Chris King looks like a vampire.

... and then the failed Senate candidate who lied about his qualifications and was just an all around dud is about to enter the race while also being a boring centrist.

NC maybe could be a [pickup] if Hagan runs

Um, I don't know how to tell you this.... but...

She won by over 8 points in 2008 and outperformed Obama. She barely lost in 2014, only by 1 point, despite the R wave. She's a pretty good canidate. If she were to run against Tillis in 2020, the race would be tilt if not lean D

She's dead.

Just because she hasn't been politically active for 6 years doesn't means he would be a good canidate if she came back into the public spotlight. She would be more than just a Bresden. Don't underestimaete her and call her "dead" just because she has been absent for a few years.

She literally died last October of a virus that she got from a tick bite. https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/28/former-north-carolina-senator-kay-hagan-dies-060172

Oh I didn't realize she actually died that was embarrasing. She was such a great senator though.
