re: #10 Targetpractice

There’s two schools of thought right now why they’re dragging out elections until fall at the earliest. The first is that they’re gambling on some “miracle” to help them narrow the polling gap and once they see that happening will pull the trigger on elections and hope that they can keep enough seats to retain a narrow majority. The second is a bit more obvious: They just want to drag things out as long as they can to keep their government expense accounts.

It’s the second reason, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re holding out some flagging hope for a miracle.
