Shows entering the race is stupid. He wasn't that good of a candidate when he was winning and couldn't even draw 40% when losing as an incumbent. He would be drawing from the same voters as Musgrove.

Musgrove could potentially win and, contrary to Kos, be moderately progressive. He made large strides in education during his tenure. Unfortunately he made the mistake of actually trying to take the stars and bars off of the State flag, drawing the latter day Confederates out. Even African American voters voted against that.
