She's running as a Democrat, but she's flakey as hell.

I'm afraid she's gonna win the primary and will lose the general. She's a sex therapist/astrologer running in a rural Latino district. (She's also white, but primary voters don't know that because she's using her ex's name) Not gonna do well in the general.
