Of course it matters. That's silly question. There are reasons to favor either one, as there are risks inherent in hiring either one. The real question is, does the extra money having the Governor's kid will bring to the office more important than giving a conscious chance to somebody who saw a way and worked at it until they got to where they are? I don't really think anybody could blame you for either choice. But we both know who is more deserving of the chance, and we also know that what makes them deserving of the benefit of the doubt is that they have already shown a strong propensity to dig in when the shit got deep and do what needed doing.
