You mention in your CBC analysis of Eddard XIII that Ned taking Renly’s offer sets off a literal race to the Iron Throne, but what was Renly ultimately hoping to get out of the deal? And would his plan change if Mace ultimately reaches KL first?

I think Renly was hoping to 1. keep the Lannisters out of power, 2. save his own neck, and 3. maybe win the Throne down the road.
