From what I understand, the GOP hasn't fielded a top-tier candidate in this (very) Democratic district. Tammy Lee has an excellent chance of actually winning, and will probably come in second.

You don't make it in politics when the decision on what party you'll run with is made in front of the public. She'll be lucky to crack 15% in the primary. It should be noted a candidate will be running for Governor under the lable don't raise my taxes. I'm convinced he's a Democrat but that won't stop him from getting 2 or 3% in November.

While 8% doesn't compare to the Dem and GOP numbers, it's solid for a third party - given that most third party candidates don't hit 8% in November. I actually think that Hutchinson is the best positioned of any of the indy candidated for governor to win. Penny would probably have won in 2002, if not for the Wellstone funeral fiasco and Ventura-fatigue.
