political analyst Ron McNinch addressed the Rotary Club of Guam this afternoon
on some of the big races on the primary level. He says what was once described
as being a very low-energy race for a long time has since changed with former
governor Carl Gutierrez throwing his hat in the ring as a write-in candidate he
predicts could be a contentious race.
"And what this creates for the Democrats and for the Republicans
is very much so a horse race to the end between the primary which Gutierrez
will be able to muster up enough votes to be on a write-in, a very viable write-in
not a play-around write-in, and this will create horse race leading into the
general election," he said.
He further added that on the legislative race, he sees the
potential for a critical election where the democratic majority could possibly
shift as republicans are known to have a lot more energy after the primary
election.
