MO Gov Galloway in

[Epaminondas]

Great news, that's the only chance.

If she loses she doesn't have to resign from Auditor, correct?

And if she wins, she names her replacement?

[Epaminondas]

It's probably not a good look to be campaigning for 6 months while on the Gov payroll, but her reasoning must be that

- if Trump loses, no way MO is electing a Dem governor under Dem presidency so she'd have to wait until 2032. Long wait!

- if Trump crushes it in MO and she gets swamped, she's not out of job and has raised her profile waiting for the next shot in 2024.

When's the last time an auditor has turned governor? Can't find one, though McCaskill and Bob Casey jumped from Auditor to Senator.

French Republican thinks that 2016 will be the same as 2020, and that it wont be a wave. A wave can happen and just like in 2018, sweep Dems in red states

Of course all the Blue avatars desperately want to believe that, if it's 2008 presidential turnout again their trickle-down wet dreams are dashed for a decade.

Going by 538's early numbers and their "predictability", it could be the wave is about half the size of 2018, so D+4. Enough for the trending Bible states, but probably not Missouri unless Galloway pulls a blinder.

538 also didnt have Dems winning KS gov 2018 either.

Actually they had it as a dead heat in the Classic and Deluxe, and Kelly was likelier to win in the Polls-only model.
