    A poll would matter if the people at the convention were voters. They’re not. They’ll be selected by the county committees. Mills might be a step too far, but they’ll sub in a bland moderate.

      Sounds about right. For myself, I don’t think they can get past just how disliked Mills was during the primary. Poll or not, choosing someone that can actually win against Collins would seem to be the ultimate goal, but some of them would rather lose than take the wrong winner so who knows. They have until July 27, apparently.

      Jackson has a pretty good platform, at least. There also seems to be a lot of ground support for Dr. Nirav Shah, which was a name I hadn’t seen much before now, and Shah has a platform almost identical to Jackson but not much experience to go with it.

      I guess we’ll see pretty soon.
