“Yo, Todd, what’s the name of the l.g. candidate the Republicans are running for louie in Illinoize?”
“Um, something like…..Maria? Maria, Rodriguez, …. maybe?”
“Good enough, we’ll go with that.”

Not really that far out of left field Wordslinger. Unfortunately Brady didn’t drag her across the finish line in the primary of it would be correct. Remember, they ran as tickets this time around.
