As soon as I saw that, I crossed Rocky off my list.

In the primary I'm voting for Reginald Luster: https://ballotpedia.org/Reginald_Luster He has an impressive resume and could have a long political career in front of him:

U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno appointed him as an assistant United States attorney with the United States Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division in 1994. He represented the federal government, agencies and employees in complex civil litigation. In 2000, Reginald worked at the Justice Department in Washington D.C. with the Civil Rights Division of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys. U.S. Attorney General Reno awarded Reginald the Director‘s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Furthering Equal Employment Opportunity. http://www.reginaldluster.com/bio/


I don't think Luster has a chance of winning the primary, of course, and I will vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election.

But they do keep the trip from being boring.
