Let's give Lori Swanson a good look. She has the legal experience and has been in charge of the consumer protection work of the AG's office, including the health care litigation. I am afraid that the political credentials of Luther and Kelley may sway the media into giving their candidacies more credit than they deserve. Swanson seems to have the legal credentials and has no political agenda. Nice for a change.
