The Seanad races
Fort Wayne, IN
Whilst all eyes are on the Presidential race - we should not allow ourselves to forget the Senate races. As ever, we have the Regions up with the President. After spending little more than 2 minutes reading the Candidacy Declaration Thread, here is the state of play:
Mideast - Al has been elected and then retired from the Senate so many times now that you may have missed his latest announcement, but he's doing just that. At present there are no declared candidates - who knows? I might run.
Midwest - Lewis Trondheim is running again, and with no declared opposition, he looks like the firm favourite, but never misunderestimate the Midwest and its capacity for doing different.
Northeast - Verily, after winning appointment to the Senate is now seeking a term of his own. No declared opposition.
Pacific - I'm not sure if Rob has declared his intentions, but there is a queue for his seat - Everett, Robert Stark (if he's legal) and hughento have all declared candidacy for the seat. Whether any campaigning for the seat will actually take place is a different question entirely.
Southeast - No declared candidates, though surely Sam Spade won't be turning down another turn of the wheel?
All in all, not that good at the moment. We can only pray for more candidates.
