1. My guess is Lasry. Godlewski is a good choice as well, but Lasry can outspend any of his

don't think he has as much money and therefore cannot get the message out....Lasry and Godlewski have the best chance.

3. I'd feel better if Lasry gave off even the slightest Herb Kohl vibe.

I'm tired of rich people showing up to try to play hero for the poor and middle class with 30% accuracy.

I've been in rooms with Nelson during several previous elections and while he walks and talks like a Progressive, I have trouble warming up to him. My intuition gives me pause.

I prefer Godlewski or Barnes to the others, but no matter who wins, I'm voting Dem.

4. I get bad vibes from Lasry

..."poor little rich kid" type of vibes...he's buying the nomination and doesn't give a rip who knows it.

Barnes has turned me off a few times. I don't trust him...

Nelson is the most experienced in grass roots gov but can't seem to generate a personality.

that sort of leaves me with Godlewski.
