Lori Swanson is a massive HP for jumping in the race at the last minute and scrambling the race, even though a Democrat will probably win it regardless. But Mark Begich is an amazing FF for jumping in the race last minute and scrambling the race, even though him doing so raises the chance of a Republican win drastically. 
Yeah, they love Walz & they hate Swanson because she’s sending him into retirement. They wanted a coronation for Walz, not the tough race that Swanson’s entrance is causing, so they’re blaming it on her for not capitulating to Walz simply because he entered first.
Meanwhile I always wanted Swanson to be the next governor, so I am perfectly happy with how events have played out since the convention
