15. Once Becerra broke out in the polling, it might have made up minds

Purely anecdotal - and the Internet is not real life - but in my social circle and many of the online spaces I frequent, waiting until the last minute and then going for Steyer after Becerra seemed a given was a common sentiment.

Are there enough people who voted in that way? Who knows. And it depends how overwhelmingly Democratic the remaining votes are and how strategically they cast their ballots. I am still not optimistic or even really hopeful, but the movement we've gotten in the past 24 hours is at least interesting enough to watch.

It all depends on who waited until the beginning of the week to mail their ballots. My partner waited til Sunday evening. But he's just lazy.
