We have been going through the same in CA with the Governor. Less than a month ago there were numerous posts about Jungle Primary, we are going to have two Republicans on the ballot, blah, blah, blah. As of today it is much more likely that it will be two Dems. Will be shocked if two Rs get through.

It is very hard to understand local politics unless you have lived it, learned it.
