1. Well, this doesn't happen very often. But I pretty much agree with this #LAGov analysis on CNN.
Republicans have a built-in advantage and actually did far better with Indies down ballot than other races. But at the top, they didn't do as well.

2. Republicans tend to drop off in runoff elections in LA, albeit by a few points. But when you have a popular incumbent like Bel Edwards, it's not a few points you can afford.
Personally, I thought Abraham was the stronger GOP candidates vs. Bel Edwards.
It'll be close...

3. It'll be close but 1) D gubernatorial candidates perform strongly statewide in LA, historically a long track of just that. But 2) if Rispone does pull it out, it'll be because of that last rally.
4. But this race, alone with the others we've seen in which Democrats at the top of the ticket performed much better than those down ballot, who got slaughtered, goes to show Obama is offering his party good advice. None of them ran on the national platform. None went #TooFarLeft
