So the GOP narrowed it down to four: Carmella Mantello, Mark Wojcik, Tom Killips and John Daniels. The later is a mystery but would probably, in this town, get more votes if he went by the nickname "Jack."


There are a bunch of Dem names out there too like Clement Campana, John Brown, Frank LaPosta, Jim Conroy, Lou Rossamilla, Peter Ryan and a host of others. That party is pretty much holding its breath to see how voter fraud shakes out before it can go forward but if the GOP is already interviewing candidates they better get a move on.

Petitions hit the street in less than five months and at the pace Trey Smith is going, five months ain't enough time to let him dictate what happens to who so it's getting near time for best guesses or flipping coins.
