Voted for Steyer this round as a strategy to try and keep the GOP out of the general. Most of us would have voted for Becerra otherwise. I don't think this is uncommon. I genuinely don't see Hilton winning the general election, though I'd obviously prefer it if we'd managed to eliminate him from contention altogether.
