1
00:00:00,801 --> 00:00:01,768
With absentee ballots going out

2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,570
and now being arguably

3
00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:04,671
into the final stretch

4
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:06,540
who is breaking through

5
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:08,709
on the Democratic side for

6
00:00:08,775 --> 00:00:10,511
candidates for governor and why?

7
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:11,945
I mean, it seems like it still

8
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,881
could be anybody's ballgame.

9
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:14,748
There's a lot of spending

10
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:15,449
going on right now.

11
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:16,149
I guess if

12
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:17,718
they say it's not a sprint

13
00:00:17,784 --> 00:00:18,619
it's a marathon

14
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:19,386
but we've crossed

15
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:22,356
the 20-mile marker and we're

16
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:23,323
getting to the point where

17
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:24,057
people are going to have to

18
00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:24,858
start making up their minds

19
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:25,692
about who their candidate

20
00:00:25,759 --> 00:00:26,393
is going to be.

21
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:27,194
I think the Democrats have

22
00:00:27,261 --> 00:00:28,529
an embarrassment of riches.

23
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:30,497
I think they are fighting

24
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:32,733
they're running downhill

25
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:35,702
because the Republicans are so

26
00:00:36,937 --> 00:00:37,871
in trouble because of the

27
00:00:37,938 --> 00:00:39,573
record of Donald Trump

28
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,274
and the fact that

29
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,408
their nominee, Tom Tiffany

30
00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:42,809
is a radical extremist

31
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:44,077
who is completely and totally

32
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:44,711
tied to Trump

33
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:45,913
in every single way.

34
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,514
I don't agree that there's

35
00:00:47,581 --> 00:00:48,749
it's anybody's ball game.

36
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:49,917
One has already dropped out

37
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:51,084
Missy Hughes.

38
00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:52,319
I wouldn't be surprised

39
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:54,121
if two more dropped out in July.

40
00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:55,989
We got 38 days to go.

41
00:00:56,423 --> 00:00:57,558
I think it's really three people

42
00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:58,458
who are seriously

43
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:00,160
in contention to win this.

44
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:01,562
It's Francesca Hong

45
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:03,163
legislator from Madison

46
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,031
Mandela Barnes

47
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:05,332
former lieutenant governor

48
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,368
and current lieutenant governor

49
00:01:08,435 --> 00:01:09,203
Sara Rodriguez.

50
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,737
I think those are the only three

51
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:11,972
who have a legitimate shot

52
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:13,273
to win at this point

53
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:14,641
based on all the polling.

54
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:15,275
We will have

55
00:01:15,342 --> 00:01:16,076
a new Marquette poll

56
00:01:16,143 --> 00:01:17,644
out in about 10 days

57
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:18,545
here in Wisconsin.

58
00:01:18,612 --> 00:01:20,013
That'll sort of

59
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,181
give everyone the picture

60
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:22,416
of where things are at.

61
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:23,617
But what we know from

62
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:24,918
private polls and some other

63
00:01:24,985 --> 00:01:26,320
publicly released polls is

64
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,488
those are the top three.

65
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:29,957
Hong is the one that's surging

66
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:31,692
at this point.
