Well, whatchya think of Hubbell?

I had no problem with any of our candidates so I am OK.

Not sure how deep he is on issues. Heard him a couple of times during the campaign. He is a solid Dem and seems to be pretty deep.

Meanwhile the Repukes have their governor-with-training-wheels running. She is talking point deep only.

he has my vote, of course, but not my heart. We'll see. Still, he's light years better than Reynolds.

Has anyone had a look at the "Republicans for Hubbell" group on Facebook? I honestly can't tell if it's a for real group or a spoof.

Yikes. I have to wonder if that's real.

I too am not very enthusiastic. But I think he'll do well and probably beat Reynolds. I expect he'll pull a fair amount of the middle of the road voters away from Reynolds since he's a middle of the road guy.

What kind of governor he'll be is whole different topic though.
