In 1998, the vote was nearly 50-50 and Bill Owens became guv. That was a disaster for higher ed.
Gail Schoettler was the Democratic candidate

Imagine how it would be today: the Republican party is basically insane, yet they vote! A republican is unacceptable. Putin may bet his dream--an completely divided America.

Democrats have
Mike Johnston
Cary Kennedy,
Donna Lynne, and
Jared Polis

All are fine people. I think the discredited TV ad for Cary Kennedy was run by another organization. We have until June 26 to decide.
