Kelly - eh? His seat is too important in Arizona.

I think Pritzker or Kelly would be wonderful. And the dreamer in me would hope for Moore to at least try.

But the Survival Mode in me says: I've seen my country hate us even more since Obama. I'd fear for the backlash against my nieces and nephews and their children.
