Except I'm afraid we're going to nominate a woman who is "not all with it" for governor. She failed to win newspaper endorsements because she had no real policy positions. She forgets and says, "I'm sorry, I'm 70 years old". But she's a Latina lesbian. She got 46% in the primary and headed to a runoff. People voted for her because she's a Latina lesbian. I saw her up close. I saw her debate. She was not articulate. She has the same facial expression that Reagan had when he would zone out.
