Winning might not be everything. But losing isn’t anything.
In fact, Vince Lombardi put it this way - “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing”.
Nobody remembers who placed second.
Just who will step up besides Kelly Ward? It’s usually some assemblyman who has nothing to lose and can only count on an incumbent/competitor dying at the right time. Sound familiar? Ward should beat Flake on her own merits. She should not be given McLame’s seat if his health really goes south. It should be given/offered to the recent former Governor who fought the good fight. A protest vote for a minor leaguer won’t do it.
