Chris Kluwe has a real shot

It looks like it'll be him and the QAnon nut in the State Assembly District 72 grand finale

Kluwe: A great dude.

So one of our turf’s most interesting races is State Assembly District 72, which involves former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe and a Huntington Beach City Council member who is 17 bricks shy of a load.

That would be Gracey Van Der Mark, aka one of America’s few Latinas to also go to bat for QAnon. And, in her time on the HB City Council, Gracey has supported book banning, MAGA plaques, corruption, cruelty and remarkable ineptitude. She is as Trumpy and Trump gets, but also incompetent with a capital V.

Put differently …

As I write this, it appears likely Kluwe and Kooky will be battling it out in November …

And while I am thrilled for Chris, I think it’s important for Democrats (and other reasonable people) to really get involved here. Chris is, truly, a great dude. Smart, intellectual, overflowing with decency, integrity. He’s the rare NFL vet who doesn’t like talking about the NFL. He’s much more into issues, solutions.

But, to win the general, he’s going to need three things:

1. A huge turnout.

2. To take some of Harper’s 17 percent.

3. To make people aware of Gracey’s awfulness.

It won’t be easy. But it’s possible.

And important.
