... make me nervous -- that sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop that could derail chances.

I know others who are gung ho on Graham. I'm in WA, so have limited info on this race, but if I were somehow forced to choose on the little I know, I'd go with Mills. I appreciate hearing what an informed person who does have to make the choice thinks.

But, of course, whoever becomes the nominee gets my whole-hearted support, which is why I've been giving what I can to the Hopium Audacious Expansion Fund to strengthen the Democratic Parties in AK, FL, IA, ME, and TX. Strong parties in these states helps build infrastructure and voter outreach that benefits ALL democratic candidates on the ballot in Nov.
