Three reasons:

1) Tina Liebling is not in the race.

2) Tina Liebling and Rebecca Otto share most of their positions. Health Care and Energy solutions offered by Rebecca are the most progressive, so she wins that comparison.

3) Tina Liebling, and I like Tina, has endorsed Rebecca and has asked her supporters to get behind Rebecca.

There are probably some other reasons, but those are the main three!

I am no longer stunned by mikeN’s ability to be dishonest about something.

Someone who has a fiduciary to handle their finances isn’t severely mentally ill, and this was a major factor in the bill that passed, where Dems decided to come up with excuses to expand the number of people who are banned from owning guns.
