And there were two candidates for the U. S. Senate Republican nomination, sort of:
Dr. Alan Keyes and Dr. Andrea Barthwell

Jeff Berkowitz: Do you think you would be supporting Dr. Keyes, if your candidate, Liz Gorman is not chosen [tomorrow] to be one of the finalists: Between the two, Dr. Barthwell and Dr. Keyes, would you support Dr. Keyes?

Maureen Murphy: I would be leaning that way but, again, it is unfair for me to give away my vote without knowing and hearing from Dr. Keyes.
