I'm curious as to why the "2 other Bob Fergusons" were listed so high up on the list and the Attorney General was so low on the list (?) There must be some sort of polling and/or rating system that could put the top candidates at the top 4 or 5 positions listed? Having the "real" Bob Ferguson 13th down the page seems a little childish to me.
ReplyDeleteDave Reichert and Bob Ferguson should be up at the top, since they are the top contenders
