I've watched the court for better part of 30 years. I suppose it is. And what you've seen more and more, not just on court races but on other races, is that Liberal contributors dump tens of millions of dollars into the state to make up for poor liberal candidates on the other side. I think you saw that happen in this race and I suspect you'll see it happen in the fall as well. Is this the liberal bailout for Chris Taylor? (03:56–04:04)
