Opinion | This isn't a race for California governor; it's a game of chicken

Rather than campaigning, eight Democratic hopefuls are waiting for someone to blink, as two Republican candidates take potshots at each other.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has not yet endorsed any of the many candidates who are running to be elected as the next governor of California, and maybe he will never endorse any of them. #CAgov.

Just remember that priority #1 for both #CAGov Republicans is to make it past the primary. Trying to ensure an all-GOP runoff runs counter to that goal! x.com/SteveHiltonx...

Say what you want about the #CAGov clown car primary, but billionaire/ self-proclaimed "class traitor" Tom Steyer rebranding Prop 13 as the "Trump Tax Loophole" is an interesting rhetorical move. I wonder why nobody else is taking a page out of his playbook. (h/t @[email protected])

Later this month the "six candidates scheduled for the ABC7–USC debate are Chad Bianco (R), Steve Hilton (R), Matt Mahan (D), Katie Porter (D), Tom Steyer (D), and Eric Swalwell (D) ...

New data from AdImpact underscores that early #CAGov primary polls probably aren't especially valuable, considering that some major Dems (and their allies) have barely spent a penny yet x.com/AdImpact_Pol...

A quick data-based thread on the possibility of a top-2 lockout for Dems in #CAGov. In the top-2 era (2012 on), there have been three midterms, featuring a total of 23 partisan statewide elections. The GOP's best-ever combined showing in a primary was 46%, in the 2014 controller's race.
Show threadThe DownballotMar 4
For a lockout, then, if the top #CAGov Dem turns in a Yee-in-2014-esque performance, Republicans would *still* have to take 43.5% of the combined primary vote—something they've managed once ever—AND split that pile of votes exactly evenly.
