I do not know what they are for, because there are a few reasons for doing this right now.

I sincerely hope none of them are for him, but there are plenty of 'semi-closet' rethugs around here. Most are business owners of some kind, so it would be no surprise to find out this action was for him.

I really fear for this state. History is always about ebbs and flows, and the fact that this state is so completely blue tells me that it will not hold forever. That scares me.
