Rumorama … Currie To Run

Huckleberries hears … that Kootenai County Commissioner Rick Currie will announce his candidacy as a write-in for re-election early next week, possibly on Tuesday. Currie was defeated by Jai Nelson in a three-way race that also included Chris Fillios in the Republican primary in May. Seems Currie has had support from people in very high places in the community to run again. Huckleberries is also told that some who voted for Nelson are experiencing buyer’s remorse after learning of her connection to state Rep. Phil Hart (her boyfriend who many consider to be a tax dodger) and to the radical Rally Right (which considers such stalwart Republicans as Ruthie Johnson and Alice Rankin to be too liberal). Stay tuned …

Question: Does a write-in candidacy for a high-profile office, like commissioner, have any chance of succeeding?
