This may be more about forcing the Dems to put money into the gov race that might otherwise be spent in key congressional contests. Cox is the longest of long shots. The only way I could see Cox even coming close would be to somehow successfully turn the race into a referendum on some pocketbook issue like the gas tax.

Yeah, and include auto registration tax, property tax, sales tax, closed container tax, bag tax, tax, tax, tax.......
All at confiscatory levels....
