Should be fun to watch

I didn't realize that we'd be seeing a Republican primary slugfest between David Shafer and Eric Johnson for Lt. Governor in 2010. Those are two big names, and each one has a large following and the ability to raise some money. I'd still give Johnson the edge in the race, but Shafer flat-out knows what he's doing and is a darling of the online community.

Plus, while I don't agree with Shafer on much, I feel compelled to point out that he has repeatedly engaged me and other progressives in fair and constructive debate during online discussions. Again, I don't agree with him on much, but he's good people by my humble assessment.
