  1. What a shame, we shouldn't be wasting time with a primary that she is going to get maximum 30% of the vote

  2. If you're referencing Ron Paul hardly the same scenario, I actually really liked Ron Paul, Eck is simply a protest vote against Lonegan her name recog is likely <1%

  3. Nice to see a woman in the race. Primary challenges are an important part of political process.
    Thank you to the candidates that are willing to step up to the challenge and we do have some BIG challenges on the political agenda of the left.
    Let the people be heard!
