And there
was, a straw
poll at this convention.
And I feel like,
you know, it's
it's kind of fun
to talk about,
but we should say
a thousand grains
of salt here for this poll,
because this is not
a scientific poll.
The margin of error would be.
Look, I'm
not qualified to calculate it
very high, but,
you had all these Democrats
in the room,
and if they wanted to,
they could go to the booth,
run by WisPolitics,
which does
this at all the conventions.
And and you could vote
for your candidate of choice,
among the primary field.
Lieutenant Governor Sarah
Rodriguez came up first.
And again,
if Fran Hong is
sort of further to the left,
she's a little bit
further to the center.
But then Fran Hong
was number two.
And so you kind of have
a little bit of the polls
of what
the party
is presenting right now,
one who might be doing better
in a, in a primary race.
Again,
given
just sort of the excitement
that's around her,
that's Fran Hong
and then one who perhaps
could appeal to a broader
audience,
that is Sarah Rodriguez,
who comes from a more
of a business background.
So I want to
throw some caution
at the poll here.
Just looking back at the 2018
straw poll, when you had,
even more candidates
running for governor,
kind of depending on
when you mentioned,
Tony Evers placed third,
he had he had 91 votes
compared to Kelda Roys
184 that year.
Right behind him were Andy
Gronik
And Dana Wachs.
They have something
in common.
They both dropped out of
the race by the end of June.
