Weekend Wild Card — 3.8-9.14

The political dance cards didn't fill up rapidly last week, the first of two weeks in which the legislative and courthouse candidates can file for office. But that will change next week. I suspect there will be a lot of scrambling to file papers just before the 5 p.m. Friday deadline. Of interest will be state Rep. Frank Henderson's House District 3 seat, now that Len Crosby has decided not to run, due to family reasons. And the GOPrecinct races will be interesting, too. I suspect the battle for the Central Committee will be as fascinating as any of the Main Event races. We'll talk about all this next week. Now, I'll post this Wild Card and prepare for a leisurely weekend.
